Nice to hear that there's hope... :-) It's funny how you all call yourself 
"unimportant team member". What defines an important team member? But I don't 
want to discuss this.

In Debian-Java we're very slowly migrating from SVN to Git. There's no 
consensus on an official timeframe or even the goal to have everything in Git. 
If somebody makes an upload and nobody involved with the package disagrees, 
the VCS can be switched.

I don't observe any disadvantage in this workflow.

Moving all packages at once might be complicate. This might also involve new 
uploads for all packages to switch the VCS-* fields?
