There is a wiki page where the migration team is making goals and 
charting progress:

http://live.gnome.org/GitMigration

Besides this somewhat "raw" data, according to that page there will be a 
more detailed writeup made available for other projects interested in 
similar migrations.

If you have an account on live.gnome.org, I'd recommend subscribing to 
GitMigration.* if you want to keep track of what's going on.

Best,
Sandy
