Hi,
I'm trying to get everything ready for the conversion and there are still a few points unresolved:
I just had a thought about something that you might've already taken into consideration.
Should the authors file or whatever you use for this conversion have the exact email addresses that the committer uses for the Git project site so that they link up in the web repo browser?
Example: on GitHub when the commit email matches up with the email address on file for the user account it puts the people's avatar images and links to their profile page in the web repository browser.[1]
I would assume Gitorious is similar in this sense.
[1] GitHub allows multiple email addresses per account, which might allow the authors to just make sure they add the one in your authors files to their GitHub account, if we go with that site. I'm not sure if that's what the multiple email addresses are for or not.
I just thought I'd mention it in case it might be an issue, it'd probably be easier to take care of before converting everything.
