I would like accepted students to use Subversion for development as that 
is the SWIG source code control system atm and so can be easily tracked 
by SWIG developers without having to do anything extra. That is an 
important part of GSoC. Nothing wrong with having a git repository for 
read only access though.

All the committer information we have is in the COPYRIGHT file.
