Thanks for taking on this, by the way. Two notes:
1) Would be nice if we can use host it under the 'habari' github user (/cc Caius). 2) Super nice if we can manage to map svn user to github users: http://www.jonmaddox.com/2008/03/05/cleanly-migrate-your-subversion-repository-to-a-git-repository/ Not sure how feasible that is though, especially with many committors not around/not having github accounts.
