Have you considered submitting the microformat to microformats.org?
That would make the microformat more official and would be an good
first step to have wider coverage of it, and additional reviews.

I agree with this, although people with very large project lists may
differ ... do we have timings on these?

You may want to consider splitting the patch into three: memoizing
of git_get_project_description(), reworking of
git_get_project_url_list(), and the actual rel=vc-* insertions.

Oh, and do consider cc'ing jnareb and paski when submitting patches
for gitweb, as they are the (unofficial?) maintainers. I usually cc
gitster (Junio C Hamano) too.

[ Also cc'ing me for this round would have been a nice idea too,
since we had the review going on ;-) ]

Out of curiosity, why the grouping? I would have had

our %project_descriptions;

up above with all the global variables.

This line is bordering on the 80 characters, so you may want to
consider moving 'my $descr' here, with something such as

my $descr = $project_descriptions{$path};
return $descr if exists $descr;

Also, I'm no perl guru so I'm not sure about exists vs defined here.

Ditto for this: why not our %project_url_lists; without scoping?

This makes me wonder if it would be worth it to turn git_header_html
into -param => value style, but I'm not really sure it's worth it.

Good. Of course the comment removal (which is actually a due move to
git_get_project_url_list) would go in the appropriate patch if you
split them 8-)
