Nice that you like it. I've been mirroring upstream's CVS and, so far,
being successful. You can see it here:
http://github.com/rbrito/fontforge
Apparently, the idea is appreciated by other people, since I only had
positive feedback. :-)

Just some newbie questions: can I put a cronjob there to fetch the
changes once a day? I don't know what kind of permissions I have on
alioth.
BTW, where should I create a repository like this? Under the pkg-fonts
umbrella? It seems to me that the team doesn't seem to use git that
much...
Another thing that would rock would be to create a git mirror of our SVN
repository---I've been having some severe problems with network outages
and I would prefer to keep working/committing even when I am
disconnected.
The team doesn't seem to have anything on git.d.o, from a quick look at
it.

Already contacted and waiting for a reply.

Indeed. I would love to help them with this, BTW.
Thanks,
