I would be happy to offer my time to work on [3]. Anything to get us
away from CVS is a step in the right direction as far as I am
concerned. Of course this could be done at a later stage after making
things public if that is desirable.

If I did this I would attempt to migrate the CVS history to a Git
repo. I have some experience of migrating CVS -> SVN -> Git and
maintaining the history, I guess we could skip the intermediate step
here.
