I haven't looked at the scripts so I don't know what state they are in, however I think it would be far simpler to go straight to gbp-pq. Converting to git-dpm is, I think, a complicated task compared with going straight to gbp-pq. -- Brian May

Yes! Stefano has a bunch of scripts that he used to convert DPMT svn to git, so there's a great starting place. Probably the main thing to change there would be to forego conversion to git-dpm and work on conversion to gbp-pq. Or, let's be expedient and use the existing scripts to go to git-dpm for now, taking up gbp-pq transition along with DPMT after Stretch. (While you're at it, gosh I'd love the zope packages to be moved to git + DPMT :). If it doesn't happen by then, Debconf 2017 would be a good time to work on this stuff.

PAPT and git
(I sent a similar email to the PAPT list yesterday, but olasd recommended on irc that I also send it to debian-python.) Looking at http://python-apps.alioth.debian.org/policy.html, it appears that PAPT still uses svn. I wanted to start working on the 'alot' PAPT package using git. On irc, olasd let me know that the current stance is that no PAPT packages should be in git until all PAPT packages are transitioned. So ... can I help to transition the PAPT packages to git?
