i looked around at the documentation and unless i missed something, there is 
no automatic support for converting between the different scm's that sf.net 
offers.  ive converted from cvs->svn with them in the past and their support 
basically boils down to documentation showing you how to:
 - get raw cvs snapshot
 - convert it with some svn utils into raw svn dump
 - upload svn dump

as for cvs->git, getting the raw cvs snapshot via their backup mechanism will 
probably greatly speed up the converting process.  so the convert steps would 
probably be something like:
 - get raw cvs snapshot
 - convert it git-cvsimport
 - use `git push` to mirror the converted repo to sf.net

i have done svn->git with them, but that was easier as git-svn is a lot more 
robust for going between the two

personally, i already have a git tree mirroring the cvs (branches & tags) ... 
just no author info.  i can use git filter-branch to add author info after the 
fact though if i had the authors list ... then again, it might be easier for 
someone who actually has commit access to take care of it ...
