Great! I'd wish I could read such a statement every week. :-)

I need to say that I really like this! I'm aware that we should do more
for stable users but I'm busy enough with other challenges. So this is
heavily appreciated and I try to support you in doing this as good as
possible.

Just accepted.

Fine. It is on our tasks page[3] and points to packaging in SVN. If
you prefer Git it just needs a little ping and I'll move it to git. I
have done the last work on version 8.1 and I think there was not much
missing any more to finalise the package (but I would need to make up my
mind about this). Its definitely a lack of testing the package is
suffering.
So its your choice to either
a) ask me to move all SVN stuff to Git (I have some experience with
this) or
b) try to do it yourself and ask me for hints if needed
