Assuming we had a good repository, how would the change go? Would the
bzr be the main repository, or just a mirror for some time? Will we
maintain the current workflow and policies, where every developer has
full write access? Will we add some kind of review process? Is
Savannah ready for the change? Is there something developers should do
to switch, other than just installing bzr and cloning the repository?

Some of these questions will need answered, IMO.

Well, is there anyone knowledgeable enough in CVS, bzr and Arch to
lead the process?
