Just so that everyone knows, myself and Nicolas (@mdv dev) have been
working on converting the Mandriva subversion repositories to git.

This work is mostly complete but the secondary step is resetting the git
repositories to the point at which Mageia forked (also deleting all
newer branches etc) and then synthesising a commit, tricking the git-svn
metadata into working and then carrying on the import process via Mageia
svn is taking a little longer. We're also squashing come "oops" commits
that happened in subversion over the years.

We'll be publishing these in the next couple weeks and we will be happy
to also make available the Mandriva versions of these repositories if
there is demand for this.

Obviously the conversions are done in such a way that authors are all
properly transferred to their real names/email addresses and care was
taken to try and get this right.
