I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem. My two cents: it'd be nice to ditch the HTML from the main repo/branch and use https://help.github.com/articles/post-receive-hooks to process the commits to XML and generate the other formats (TXT+HTML) and post them somewhere (another repo/branch/website/etc).

First of all, we would like to encourage participation from a broader audience, and more implementers have github accounts and are familiar with that workflow, vs. IETF tools accounts. Furthermore, we've had a few requests from people that want to fork the specification for experimentation, to be used as potential input to our work (as pull requests). Finally, our editors have expressed some preference for working with Git over SVN.
