Yes, to certain extent. However, I think it is not purely technical and it
is coupled with OSGeo and other OSGeo projects.


Right- But the PSC is only involved once the technical aspects are clear.


One of the questions I would think we should think about from the 
beginning is whether we really want to run with a double system (svn and 
git) or whether it might be easier in the long run, to completely switch 
over to git...

Right- But the PSC is only involved once the technical aspects are clear.

E.g., we (at grass-dev) may check first how it works for GDAL.

is there a similar system /infrastructure needed as for the PSC voting?

IMHO we need to have someone besides the current candidate(s) to
organize the election of the chair.
I hoped for some faster pace here :-)

We do need a git *expert* for this. Anyone?

political one which belongs to grass-dev.

At time there is some experimental setup:

GRASS GIS is obviously already registered there but a git *expert* is
needed. In addition we have to understand how to use git and svn
together (like GDAL appears to do) and when the experimental stage
will be turned into production mode.

IMHO also the Python 3 is a grass-dev topic.

For sure the new PSC will do related house keeping but the technical
part should remain in the grass-dev discussion space unless there is a
strong motivation to make it a PSC task.

Urgent is the election of the chair.
