Sorry, I've not been clear.  I was kinda thinking out load that with the
git conversion it is easier to make pull requests than fishing the stuff

changes upstream.

Agreed.

Another possibility is that one or more NetBSD developers get commit
rights to the upstream repo and can merge back the changes on our own.
