Regardless of the reasons, a separate git repository would allow for any 
number of additional contributions. My problem still is how to set up 
such a repository, for public use, and how to sync it with the SVN 
trunk. Can your fpc/Lazarus git repository be used for that purpose, or 
can another repository refer to and stay in sync with it?
