Would it make sense at this point to migrate Gnus out of CVS?

Whether we use Subversion or Git or Bazaar, let's use something more
reasonable.  It would make sync with Emacs, branching, tagging, and
releasing simpler.  A DVCS is IMHO the best choice today and I would
support either Git or Bazaar.

We could still host it on gnus.org, of course, and the old CVS server
could be available as a read-only mirror.  But it could live on Savannah
as well.

Lars?
