I hope I'm not overstepping bounds with this request, considering I'm only starting out trying to help.

Would it be difficult/possible to change the Blender Manual project to Git?

I noticed that many other projects were switched over, so it doesn't seem completely unreasonable.

Problem of Git is that it does not handle that well binary files (all the pictures, mostly, in case of a manual).

In any case, please start that kind of discussion on relevant ML, this tracker is for bugs only (or patches), thanks.

Sorry, I should have researched the contributing section of the manual more.
I am coming from the GitHub approach of simply creating issues.

For future reference, I assume this is the list:

I found that linked from the following page:
