There is a file-format defined for importing and exporting with git. See
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-fast-import.html
for details. It appears that if we simply added two commands to Fossil that
would read and write this format, we should be able to import and/or export
Fossil from and to Git. (Am I correct on that point?)
Are there any volunteers with more git experience than me who are willing to
help with this project?

I've the same question...understanding that there is no perfect DVCS
(those which I like as {darcs,monotone} do not have public hosting
solutions, and those which have decent public hosting {bzr,hg} are not
on the top of of my preferences - git/github is excluded), so Fossil
(still) looks as very decent solution to be used for the multi-platform
open-source project - nice DVCS integrating tracker and being easy to
host everything under every shared web hosting.
However, getting in/out of the fossil world is a bit problematic...

Why does this not meet your needs and what exactly are you looking for? Are you wanting an export in the git-specific format? How could we export wiki and tickets in that case? This may be a PEBKAC issue, but when I run deconstruct, I end up with an unordered tree of hashes. I'm not sure how I would parse any linear history out of that, even on a per-file (rather than a per-project) basis. Since I don't really understand how the wiki and tickets are stored inside fossil, I don't know why that's a special case. It may very well be, but I can't address that intelligently. For example, on GitHub my wiki is just a git repository of text files, so the wiki is versioned identically to any other object. Ticgit does something similar with in-repository trouble tickets; they're just versioned text files in a special git branch. I'm uncomfortable with data silos.
