> Sorry, Tom I misread you completely, you said: "I'm happy to move this from svn to git but I'd like the team that look after it to buy into that first" - and I read you were looking for a new team while you're talking about the existing team - how can we get in touch with them?

Well by team I mean whoever is currently responsible for the stylesheet 
in that it should be up to the users of the repository to decide if they 
want it converted.

Now as things stand that means mapnik-team at openstreetmap.org which is 
basically Steve Chilton (Steve8) and Lennard vor den Dag (Ldp).

Now Steve is probably not going to be able to answer a question like 
whether he wants to switch from svn to git as somebody will need to help 
him sort out the necessary tools and workflow. I believe in the past 
Lennard and Jon Burgess (who runs the tile server) have generally helped 
with that.
