Sean has mostly been managing the backports of dgit. I think
backports of both git and dgit would be good things.
However, we have just released a major new feature and there are
inevitble bugs in it. My current wip branch[1] has fixes for that but
also fixes for other bugs, some of which may themselves cause further
bugs.
What kind of timescale are you thinking about here ? If you are
willing to wait a couple of weeks, I think sid/testing's dgit will
have settled down.
