I did not know of this. While this is a useful feature for Apertium
commiters not comfortable learning git, it's still just their subversion
bridge, not directly an SVN repository. There are some possible problems:

1) If it follows the standard SVN trunk/branch structure which Apertium's
SVN repo does not conform to, the repository structure would need to be
refactored a little bit.
2) AFAIK git svn has some issues with commit checksums
<https://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Git-and-Other-Systems-Git-and-Subversion#Committing-Back-to-Subversion>.
This is a different case (svn-to-github), so maybe the issue is not present
here.

However, if there are no issues in using both the svn and git client in
parallel on a github repo, this would really make the transition much less
painful for commiters.
