In fairness, when the board does say "we want it" and no one is 
volunteering to do it, it falls on me.  This sort of situation has come 
up very rarely in the past.  But I'm not under the impression that the 
board actually does a copy of cvs in git that gets updated periodically 
for people to use at their leisure.  I'd think the board might only get 
involved once a few proposals are put forth and the community can't 
decide which one to use.  Up till now though no comprehensive proposals 
have been put forth "Lets use git" isn't a proposal.
