Jakub posted an idea about git.el (Emacs support) a few days ago:

Since I've been quite involved in DVC in the past, I'm willing to help
with this, but unfortunately, I'm swamped with work and I can't commit
for ~5-10h/week on that.

So, if someone else steps in, perhaps we could rephrase the subject in
a "merge git.el and DVC, and improve it" way, and I could co-mentor
this one.

All that said, I think most of the ideas already on the wiki should be
prioritized (I love Emacs, but I think more people need a good Windows
support/GUI for example).
