Maven: Does this mean mavenizing the project? If so I would start it
this weekend. If you were referring to GIT Maven SCM please also let
me know.
Cruisecontrol: I would instead like to setup Hudson; I find it to be
quite user friendly and flexible at the same time. I would also like
to set up it for JGit. Once we JGit has more features like DIff remote
fetching and stuff we can also build a hudson plugin :).

I am currently looking into .git/config format as Shawn suggested.
