Yes.

I envision(ed) three groups of people: SVN-developers,
Git-developers, and merge masters.

The SVN developers continue as usual on BerliOS.  The Git
developers work on GitHub pretty much as if BerliOS did not
exist.  And the merge masters carry changes back and forth
between the two worlds.

Me.  (For a suitable definition of "always".)

To spell out what my "I'd be willing to help in that" means:
I'll be willing to do the SVN <-> Git merge master for a few
weeks (say, three).  Say, I'll try to provide daily service.

The idea is: Let people on the SVN side work as they always
have.  Let people on the GitHub side throw pull request at
the GitHub project like one does on GitHub.  And let the
merge masters move changes back and forth to connect both
worlds.

Some details would need to be clarified.  E.g.: Which
changes from whom may appear where on the SVN side.  Who
does which quality control on incoming code.

But, as far as merges themselves are concerned, as long as
we can keep people from reformating sources (re-indent
everything or so) grand style, I'm not afraid of those.
(I've been "merge master" before.)

Ok, but that seems to be "mathematics on the empty set".
Unless there is a late change of opinion, we have a decision
to move to SourceForge.  And that is certainly a valid,
reputable choice from what I know - nothing wrong with that.

Regards,

Andreas
