Hello Shin, I agree with you that it's a good idea to manage repositories with git. So instead of reporting bugs to the maintainer himself/herself directly, with git, pull requests can be seen by everyone, and everyone can leave comments about them or even to make contributions. it's also good for picking up orphaned ports. Well, instead of hosting the official repositories on Github (or whatever), why not just hosting them on crux.nu? I mean, we've already done that with rsync, it shouldn't be difficult to do that with git. (Sorry for the resent.)

Contributions becomes easier with "Pull Requests" 2. Port reviews can be done openly and transparently 3. Allows everyone to maintain their own ports with upstream pull/merge capability from the official repos. Hooks / Triggeres can be used to automate push/pulls after merges on the main or mirror git repos so that things are kep in sync and automated. This would allow those who have no access to Core/Opt/Contrib to easiy contribute via pull requests and maintainers can simlpy accepts pull requests to have them merged, instead of implemented changes themselves. (more efficient and effective in my view). Best regards, Shin
