One not so unimportant issue that I do not see mentioned anywhere is E-mail addresses. While svn only maintains a simple user name, git requires user name + E-mail address. Tools like git-svn will only create a dummy address (user@repository-hash or something like that).
When reactos moved to github in October, a list of svn committer names plus full (real) names and E-mail addresses was compiled and supplied to the conversion tool, with more meaningful dummy addresses for previous committers without a known valid E-mail address. Apertium could use something like svnnameofcommitterwhol...@svn.apertium.org in that case. My suggestion is therefore to scan all AUTHORS files for E-mail addresses and names corresponding to the respective committers. This has the additional benefit, that if those authors have a github account and use the same name+address combination with their github repositories, github will automatically recognize their commits as theirs.
