The slightly longer response:

I think these are all great ideas, and I think they'd be a valuable
contribution to the GNU Radio community.  CPAN (The Comprehensive Perl
Archive Network) and CEAN (the Comprehensive Erlang Archive Network)
are but two implementations of similar ideas.  CPAN has been wildly
successful and is part of what has driven Perl's popularity.

If you want to try git -- or whatever -- please do, and keep us informed!
