You can work on Emacs using Git today, the Git mirror is an accurate
conversion of what's in Bazaar and is updated at a reasonable frequency.
When I did the ACL stuff last year I had everything in Git and only used
Bazaar once, to install my changes (after several rounds of review).

I hate to play devil's advocate, I'm all for a switch to Git. But at least
from my experience, having the code in Bazaar is only a minor
inconvenience. I imagine that the same would apply to a majority of
potential contributors if we just encouraged people to use the Git mirror
instead of Bazaar.
