No argument from me. The only thing I would be concerned about is  
making sure that the tooling supports it. The project needs continuous  
integration and a repository inspector, and ideally an issue tracker  
linked into both of these. I have used the Atlassian tool set to do  
this in the past which works well, but I don't think they are  
supporting git yet… yep just checked and they still aren't though they  
plan to.

It makes sense to me to move this project to Codehaus or even Apache.  
Although Apache is quite strict on the projects they host so Codehaus  
might be a better choice. They have all the tools and admin interfaces  
to manage them, not to mention free bandwidth. It also adds a certain  
aspect of credibility to the project by having it hosted by a well  
known hoster of open source projects. Plus, it allows the developers  
to focus on developing rather than installing and configuring software.

I am not a hardcore git user so I may not have seen the light yet, but  
I would rather stick with svn because of the support for it from  
FishEye and Bamboo for the time being. Individual developers can  
always use git+svn locally to get _some_ of the features.
