Some observations based on a quick look:

1)

$ git branch -r
  origin/maintenance/1.1.x_5227
  origin/maintenance/1.5.x/doc/numpybook/comparison/pyrex
  origin/maintenance/1.5.x/doc/pyrex
  origin/svntags/0.9.6_2236

These don't look right?

2)

Would it be possible to get real Git tags for the tags in SVN?
Perhaps in addition to the svntag/

Although, I must admit, I don't remember any more the rationale for the 
svntags/ thing. Was this because some of them contain commits that are 
not part of any other branch? How much do we lose if we just drop the 
svntags/* stuff (it clutters up the branch -r output)?

3)

Some people have their SVN commit account in format forename.surname -- 
it might be OK to translate this to "Forename Surname" even if we do not 
hear back from them?

	alan.mcintyre
	chris.barker
	chris.burns
	christoph.weidemann
	darren.dale
	paul.ivanov
	tim_hochberg

Also, Ralf has the Git ID in format "rgommers <...email...>", but I guess 
that's correct?

For other people (eg Pierre GM, Michael Droettboom) who might still be 
active contributors in the future, it could be nice to know what Git ID 
they are going to use.
