All the survey responses (including all the comments, but excluding svn user
names) are out there for everyone to browse.

This idea was discussed when the DVCS thing was brought up first.  I think
Olav was against it for sysadmin workload reasons.  Every VCS-facing service
needs to be implemented for all the supported systems and given that we don't
seem to have enough man hours to do one, doing multiple ones just seems
unreachable.
