If the majority of code developers want to change, I’ll go along with it. I think in this case it makes sense to classify a code developer as anyone who has contributed a code change (either by submitting a patch or that has svn access). I’ll also take votes from anyone who says they would contribute if we moved to git. Fair enough?
