I spent a week converting the entire @rpm5.org cvs repository to git
last year at git.rpm.org. There has been exactly zero interest in accessing,
too little interest to even contemplate switching the repository into
"production" every day use imho.
and how exactly one should know it should be accessed?

there's no "news" on frontpage, http://rpm5.org/
says that Production version of RPM is 5.3.6
clicking "sources" link http://rpm5.org/sources.php gives just cvs info
roadmap http://rpm5.org/roadmap.php speaks about 2007
last news item is from 2008 http://rpm5.org/news.php
or is it 2009? why it's under 2008?
there's no "blog" either announcing cool and fun stuff that some active projects do

the only way to even know about cvs->git, is to subscribe to mailinglist,
again so 1990s. i personally won't do that, it's too much noise to be subscribed to mailinglists.

oh, and git.rpm5.org gives centos standard page, so can't even clone the repo to see it's conversion quality.

ps: you could also write "blog" (mailinglist post in your case) of your cvs2git progress, would be fun to read how you did it, problems encountered, how solved, as i understand rpm5 cvs repo was quite unique, i haven't seen 2.x cvs revisions anywhere else.

and also i think i've made at least 1 commit to rpm5 cvs repo. i was never contacted to be asked what i wish my author email to be, that is not nice.
