Joseph, please point to message on gcc@ mailing list that expresses consensus of GCC community to use reposurgeon conversion. Otherwise, it is not appropriate to substitute one's opinion for community consensus.
I was on the fence for a long time, since I felt that the rewritten reposurgeon was still somewhat unproven. However, I think the reposurgeon conversion is probably the best choice at this point, given that an actual problem caused by the use of git-svn was demonstrated by Richard E, indicating that the scripts do not have an inherent reliability advantage. I also think Joseph has a very throrough pair of eyeballs.
I have no opinion one way or another which method should be used to identify author names, since I have not looked into that.
