Cool, I was actually going to ask about that.  As someone who would also like 
to make some (minor) contributions, I welcome this.

FWIW, after the main portage tree moved to git and the official GitHub mirror 
opened, I've been motivated to get various (minor) changes I made locally 
(e.g., patches and ebuild modifications) into the portage tree.  So far I've 
gotten four pull requests merged, and a patch for gentoolkit got upstreamed.  
So my own experience makes me agree with the idea that a move to Git could 
definitely help motivate people to participate more.

Also, the proaudio overlay is the only reason I still have SVN installed ;-) .
