Weminstats scm was first cvs, then subversion for a long time, but with the last storage failure, some commit were lost, when the backup was restored.
So I decided to move the project to git, as all my others sourceforge projetcs. I use this doc : http://blog.jessitron.com/2013/08/converting-from-svn-to-git.html for the migration

For security reasons, I have a new gpg key, used to sign the packages.
It is avalaible as usual on http://webminstats.sourceforge.net/gpg.asc
and on https://sks-keyservers.net/
