I think the more important part is, are the core developers going to accept pull/merge requests on github/gitorious, apply commits/patches from there, etc.? If it's only going to be another read-only git mirror, it's kind of pointless. I don't mean to say that it's a bad idea to have the "official Geany source" available on various projects sites to fork/hack on and stuff, just that it doesn't address the problem being discussed at all.
I agree it's not as useful, but I disagree that it'd be pointless. We can still benefit from the "social coding" aspects of github, including but not limited to an overview over the forks, pull requests between forks. I would greatly love to see that, as I'm subscribed to a number forks by now :)
Yes, I would also prefer if there was a proper and complete git switch (it would greatly save maintainer's work IMO) but I haven't seen much enthusiasm from the core developers for the move so it's better if people who use git have at least an up-to-date git mirror from which they can create their private branches.
BTW: is there some possibility to have an svn mirror of a git repo. Perhaps if you have admin access to the bare svn repo?
I guess you could git svn dcommit from the post-receive hook if you have access to the git repository. But I guess it works for simple commits only and not merges and so on.
(To your question regarding writing my name - I write it that way myself too because I'm lazy to switch to Czech keyboard so I guess it's OK ;-)
