I'm not currently active in any Apache project but have been and was very annoyed to be forced to use Subversion. Therefor just for the record: The whole discussion would be meaningless if the ASF would switch to Git. (I'm not sure about the progress in this regard.) With Git, everybody can add commits to every Git repository on the Internet. One would just not be able to push them. But I can just push to my own Github account and send an email asking for a pull.
