Isn't everyone involved much better solved if we come up with some plan to split these off from git.git? I.e. I think if if git-gui, gitk and gitweb were proposed for inclusion in-tree today I don't think we'd bite, and instead point to things like [1] or [2]. Of the three gitweb is a bit more glued to the rest of the codebase (test & custom test lib), but gitk and git-gui already have their own external projects. It looks like if they started making tagged releases, along with some small Makefile changes like generating their manpages from ASCIIDOC, downstream packagers of git-gui and gitk could simply start pointing to those as the authoritative source instead of whatever gets shipped with git. 1. https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis/ 2. https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Interfaces,_frontends,_and_tools#Web_Interfaces
