I'll try.

Yes, me too. The "libvorbis" git repo supports "--git-pristine-tar" and 
also the git-buildpackage patch queue.

Could you have a quick look at it, to see, if you agree on the branch 
layout etc., before I convert all the other packages the same way?

Well, most of them are in unstable, but they may not be maintained by 
the pkg-xiph-maint group any more.

I'd distinguish between:

1. Packages currently maintained by pkg-xiph-maint and in unstable: High 
priority to convert them to git and bring them in shape.

2. Packages that are maintained by other developers now: I'd say, we 
don't care at all about those repositories. They have probably been 
forked by their new maintainers anyway.

3. Orphaned and/or removed packages (I count 3 of them: libspiff, 
libannodex, libcmml): They all seem to have dead upstreams, so it's very 
unlikely that they are worth being reactivated. But we can still think 
about this.

Cheers,
Martin
