It has not been established that the choice of git vs. svn is the biggest blocker to attracting attention and contributors. I would suggest that a lack of releases is a much greater barrier. Folks who contribute patches do so because they want to see them in a release. If there are no releases (and looking back for the past 6 months there have been very few releases considering the number of components in commons) then, frankly, a move to git is largely irrelevant. What it will do little is distract what little effort there is going into releases making the overall problem worse not better.
