Guess I missed this one, sorry!

I don't think team names are so relevant to my concern, though…?

Indeed, filling all of them can be quite annoying.

What I used in the past is this script:
| if [ -z "$SVN_URL" ]; then
| export SVN_URL=svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/
| fi
| if [ $# != 1 ] ; then
| echo "Usage: $0 <package to convert>"
| exit
| fi
| export PKG=$1
|
| git svn clone \
| ${SVN_URL}/${PKG} \
| -T /trunk/${PKG} \
| --tags tags \
| --trunk trunk \
| --authors-file=debian-med-authors \
| --prefix=svn-import/ \
| --no-metadata \
| ${PKG} 2>&1 | tee >> svn2git_${PKG}.log
I'll attach the authors-file that I used (which has some addition to the
one from the debian-med repo, although probably I also don't have the
latest version) in a separate private email, since it's likely better to
not spread a collection of email addresses to a public mailing list.
Another possibly nice authors-file could be the one that was used in the
DPMT/PAPT migration. Stefano Rivera <stefanor@debian.org> took care of
the PAPT one, so maybe email him to see if he has a compiled list of
authors?
So, overall, really nothing particularly complex.
