I think you meant "github account" ;-) .

Yeah, I noticed that, too.

Maybe: my sense of aesthetics reels in horror at the site of git-svn-id 
markers in the commit log.  They are pointless after a conversion and do 
nothing but clutter up the history.  Could you please use

git filter-branch --msg-filter 'sed -e "/^git-svn-id:/d"'
(taken from git-filter-branch(1))

to get rid of them?

You could also use reposurgeon to do the conversion instead, see 
http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6778 for why using git-svn could be problematic.

[ I'd offer to try converting it myself, but my free time is currently 
occupied by my getting acquainted with the Gentoo devmanual; I seem to have 
slipped into the role of proxy-maintainer for app-text/asciidoc. ]

What do you mean?  Karl Lindén can simply pull from you and push to 
https://gitlab.com/proaudio/gentoo.

I'd like to know, too!  I suspect git-flow is overkill, though ;-) .
