Keep in mind that that is not what Mike is proposing.  :-)

github has some cleverness that allows both svn and git clients to the same 
repository.

That being said, I think that this is a pretty large discussion:

- do we want to move to a DVCS?
  - if so, which one: hg or git?

- if we move, will IU host it, or will we use Bitbucket / github?

- what do we do about a bug tracker?
  - continue to use Trac?
  - use the bug tracker on Bitbucket / github?
  - ...?

- who will do all the migration work?
  - official source code migration
  - existing open ticket migration
  - user migration
  - ...probably some other things I'm not thinking of

- who will develop the "best practices" guidelines for use of a DVCS?  Examples:
  - is rebasing before committing encouraged/required/discouraged/...etc.
  - how do we do version release branches -- different repos, or branches 
within a repo, or ...?
  - ...etc.
