I'm happy to review patches for the git package.

I generally feel that securing such old versions of packages is a bit
of a fool's errand, so I don't expect to spend time proactively fixing
security bugs there.  That said, I am always happy reviewing debdiffs
and other patches, and perhaps I can learn something or get a chance
to share knowledge along the way.

Thanks,
