I don't see how we can mandate git. What if I do *not* use any vcs at
all? And I know enough projects that run on svn, hg, and other vcs.
I don't see that mandating git has any reason besides the "appeal to
popularity", which at least in critical thinking circles is commonly
seen as fallacy.

Again, this might be a good idea for a recommendation, but mandating
doesn't make sense.

No comment on that from my side. I will not move there.
