I'm already running the same script on tahini to create a similar shadow
repo there. All we need to do is run gitweb and the git dæmon, and maybe
set up git.exim.org in DNS. Preferably after creating a proper directory
for the git tree to live in, instead of my home directory.
I should probably also make sure I have all the CVS userid->name
mappings up to date and recreate the tree on tahini before we announce
it.

The migration is easy enough -- we have a git tree which is following
the CVS tree automatically; all we have to do is stop committing to CVS
and start committing to the git version.
