Hi Joel, Right now, there is already a git mirror you can use, at github. Have you seen it?
If all you're talking about is a VCS move, not a Launchpad migration--we already are on Git *and* bzr. You can use Git just like you want to, and then turn your branch into an email patch, and send it in like everyone else does. I believe Linus still uses patches via email for Linux.
