So I was going through some old tickets and stumbled across this:

I gave it a quick look over and I'm not against this integration but I'm
generally apathetic about it. So I ask if anyone here is interested
enough to get it into Fedora. I'm not sure if both the server and client
versions are provided there but it looks like what is there is GPLv2.
Thoughts?
I've been looking at it, here is my thoughts:
Fedora CVS:
* We'd gain visibility from having people see our commits to packages
* As such, we'd be able to show that we are active and not a pack of
dodos
Fedora Hosted:
* SVN: Scripts work natively and I'd really be interested in getting
this going for interested projects
* Git: Would require a bit more investigation, but it looks 'okay' and
possible - I'd be willing to do this
* HG: I recall even upstream do this
In my opinion, while there are no direct benefits, it does promote some
visibility for Fedora/Fedora Hosted/our hosted projects.
As such, I'd be willing to step up to the plate and do this.
N.B> They are just publicly available scripts, I see no benefit to
including such scripts as a separate package, especially as there are so
many different scripts for different VCS' the maintainability of such a
package would be just NUTS
