New source format
The (not yet released) package dpkg-format-gitarchive defines a new source format 3.0 (gitarchive) . This format doesn’t represent a real source package format, but uses a plain git repository as input to create a 3.0 (quilt) source package that the Debian archive accepts.

The author has posed a number of open questions for feedback. I think an interaction about what features are useful for us is worth it.
