I am eager to start packing this driver in our testing repo but lazy to package git snapshots. Even simple git tags help. The cgit interface gives us packagers a convenient source package url, for example: (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome/snapshot/release_0_2_905.tar.gz) A tip can be to call the tag v3.0-beta1 or similar. cgit should then give us the link http://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome/snapshot/xf86-video-openchrome-3.0-beta1.tar.gz I'm not sure if you are able to enable .tar.bz2 archives in cgit. If you can - those tarballs has consistent md5sum of the archive while tar.gz embeds a timestamp (on the git archive generation time) so tar.gz has always different md5sum of the generated archive. In other words, git tags + .tar.bz2 archives might be enough to get distro packagers start packaging.
