Without even knowing these scripts I'd say 'no'. There are too many
things which you cannot automate, like fixing conflicts and commit
messages, running the tests, fixing whatever breaks while keeping
compatibility with older Emacsen. Org and also Gnus have smaller
codebases, and they pretty much mirror their stuff into lisp/org and
lisp/gnus.

I've considered setting up our repository so that it is an exact mirror
of the one in Emacs; however, this won't fix the other problem, most
importantly the compatibility issues with EIEIO.

Yes, I'm worried about that as well. But if you look at our Buildbot, it
should be clear that we cannot go on like this.
