Spam is a real problem, I do not know how to fix that or if that is  
fixable.

The issue of cvs vs svn vs git is not that important I think.   There  
are good enough bridges to bridge SVN functionality to git, so those  
that want to use that could use that.

In my mind the only thing that matters a lot is to offload the  
maintenance work of the web site to someone else.    We have  
historically not have very good long-term project hosting as people  
come and go, so offloading this to some other group that is  
maintaining it is always better.

I do not have a personal preference as to where this is hosted, as  
long as someone else is in charge of it and that someone is some sort  
of larger organization (Debian, GNU, Google, SourceForge all are fine  
by me).

Miguel.
