You should be able to set up a cron job. The pkg-fonts review script
runs from a cron job in my user for eg.

Yeah, pkg-fonts should be fine. It is true that we don't use git much,
fonts generally lend themselves better to svn-buildpackage's
mergeWithUpstream mode.
I intend to switch ttf-mph-2b-damase to git when I convert the "source
code" from TTF to FontForge SFD. Upstream is no longer working on it
and my attempts to merge it into DejaVu and/or FreeFont weren't very
successful so I figured pkg-fonts could become upstream.

That should be easy enough for you to do. You could even login to
alioth, run the conversion and tar it up and download it in one go.
