I second the proposal.
Whether we use cvs or svn doesn't matter horribly much to my workflow
since my only interaction with cvs is running a script that commits
stuff from my git repository to the official cvs one. Getting rid of
the git gateway sync delay would be just a minor improvement, nothing
critical. But there are a lot of minor things that would be improved
by switching, and at some point they start adding up. As another
example, it'd be nice if people without commit access could send
properly formatted patches that add new files (hard to do with cvs,
since "cvs add" requires commit rights).
