Yes! Stefano has a bunch of scripts that he used to convert DPMT svn to git, so there's a great starting place. Probably the main thing to change there would be to forego conversion to git-dpm and work on conversion to gbp-pq. Or, let's be expedient and use the existing scripts to go to git-dpm for now, taking up gbp-pq transition along with DPMT after Stretch. (While you're at it, gosh I'd love the zope packages to be moved to git + DPMT :). If it doesn't happen by then, Debconf 2017 would be a good time to work on this stuff. Cheers, -Barry
