Migrate to git - quickly?

Martin, do you have time to migrate all bazaar repos to git?  I
suspect ones for the packages listed on
<URL: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-xiph-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org >
is the top priority.  Once this is done, I would like us to upload a
new version based on the latest package in unstable, but with the list
of maintainers changed and the VCS URL updated to the new location.
I would prefer git repos buildable using git-buildpackage --git-pristine-tar.

Once this is in place, we have a better foundation to move forward,
and can start deciding which packages should get a new upstream
version in unstable before the freeze.  If I am not mistaken, the
deadline for such update is in 4 days to reach unstable before
2014-11-05.

There seem to be more than the packages in unstable in the bazaar repo
on <URL: https://alioth.debian.org/scm/browser.php?group_id=30850 >.
What should we do with the rest?

I'm still poking the alioth admins to try to get access to maintain
the mailing list, no response so far.
