I'm already using git.kernel.org for my master XFS trees. The ones
on oss.sgi.com are simply now downstream mirrors. There's still a
few things I need to organise (e.g. where release tarballs are put)
before we make the kernel.org trees the official source of XFS
source code.

We already have a linux-xfs at vger.kernel.org mailing list - we just
don't use it. Again, more organisation stuff to do to switch over
(i.e. forwarding from xfs at oss.sgi.com to the vger list) and then
updating documentation everywhere and getting people to start using
it.

Cheers,

Dave.
