I vote for removing it immediately. It has serious bugs - e.g., incremental mode is totally broken. I sent in a patch a month ago to fix this particular bug, which remains unapplied. Now that git-p4 has made it into git.git, I don't think anyone - myself included - is interested in creating or merging git-p4import.py fixes. Keeping git-p4import.py in this broken state just wastes the time of anyone unlucky enough to see it first.
