The GIT toolbox contains several commands which allow to 'mirror' from
a different SCM system. "git cvsimport" does this for me, there are
also "git svnimport" (or "git svn"), "git archimport", "git quiltimport".

Yes, you as one of the very few people who actually do commit to CVS
would still have to have a separate CVS workspace. The vast majority of
the involved people are just creating patches in the hope that someone
will commit these to CVS. GIT offers quite some convenience for these
people to maintain their patches alongside ongoing development until
they (the patches) get committed,
