Just several technical notes,

Technically, Subversion tags cannot be represented as git tags. The
git tags point to a revision, but many svn tags have changes relative
to trunk from where they were copied. To account for this difference,
svn-git migrates Subversion tags as git branches.

The above layout also means that Tomcat 5 and earlier sources are not migrated.

By the way,
maybe a svn-git mirror at apache.org could be configured in such way
(the existing one, or a new one)?

If there is a working solution, maybe add it to the existing page.

Thus far I do not know how to compare subdirectories with that tool.
It compares versions of the whole project.

(Blog about that feature:
https://github.com/blog/612-introducing-github-compare-view

The closest thing that I found is history view for the "conf" directory.

> 7. Drop reviewboard in favour of commenting on GitHub pull requests.

We can really drop reviewboard now. It is not actually used. There
have been 2 review requests for the whole time, the last being 3 years
ago.

If anyone wants to comment on Github, I think that it is already
possible. I think that it works and the messages are forwarded to the
dev list.
