Many have, see the list archive.

Collaboration is not the problem. It is a matter of familiarisation - the
current Docutils developers are more familiar with SVN. 
OTOH, I support a move to Git because setting up brances is a pain with SVN.

However, I don't think there is need to change the host, as Sourceforge
supports the "modern" vcs. (If we do not want to exclude possible
developers from Cuba, we should move to a non-US host, though.)
