I disagree. Most of the contrib scripts are expected to be used as
they are. There's no step in the Makefile that will convert them, and
it's up to each distribution to decide what to do with them. This is
what Arch Linux does:

  # more contrib stuff
  cp -a ./contrib/* $pkgdir/usr/share/git/
  # scripts are for python 2.x
  sed -i 's|#![ ]*/usr/bin/env python|#!/usr/bin/env python2|' \
    $(find "$pkgdir" -name '*.py') \
    "$pkgdir"/usr/lib/git-core/git-p4 \
    "$pkgdir"/usr/share/git/gitview/gitview

At some point we might decide to change this, but at the moment
contrib scripts are pretty much stand-alone.

Cheers.
