I like the idea. It would lower the barrier to begin coding on the hurd (I think), and it would be a good opportunity to clean up the cvs chaos a bit (so newcomers don't get completely lost in the different repositories).
Also it has the advantage to remove the central point of failure, which feels very Hurd-like to me: Everyone has a full copy of the repository, and only the reference repository is under central control. But I don't code, so I don't think it's my place to decide, and the wiki already uses git anyway (even though I prefer Mercurial myself, since it feels more natural to me and doesn't have to be cleaned up regularly - and it works in my Hurd installation :) ).
