That is how people usually work with distributed version control tools.
You create your own branch from the main branch hosted at
Freedesktop.org. Then you publish your version on some web page and ask
a trusted maintainer to merge your modifications into the official
version. If he doesn't, then you still have your own copy and if
Freedesktop.org some day fails completely an other one may become the
one people trust. At that point you would naturally want to get your
changes into that one.

Untz, do you have a reason for preferring GIT over Bazaar? I'm not
saying GIT is bad, I just want the choices to be discussed. We ought to
choose the one that best fits our needs.
