Rob Lanphier proposed a draft plan to proceed to a migration to git over the following months, and got a positive response from developers.

Chad Horohoe started to prepare for the migration to git; he wrote a script to compare LDAP accounts to the information stored in Code review, and prepared for conversion tests from the current Subversion repository. An important step in the conversion is having names and email addresses for all committers, since neither Git nor Gerrit function well without them. As of this writing, 26 committers do not have any contact information, and 25 have a name but no e-mail address. Please help by filling in the names of committers you know.

Chad is down to one last email address of a committer to confirm, then a full import will happen. He has already started a partial import (up to r100000), and will do the complete import once that is done.
