yes, I use them frequently, importing from GNOME Git server
(couchdb-glib and evolution-couchdb modules)

review of branches though launchpad. We just create branches from the
imported tree and submit those for review, and, once approved, we land
them on the git server manually

the importing works great, although it just imports from git master,
which means that, once I branched in GNOME Git for the stable version,
we could no longer use the review process in LP, since git master
contained the unstable version. We had to resort to manual reviews
(sending patches to mailing list)

not sure what this means, but as I said, I couldn't import a branch
other than master in the git server, so it would be great if it could
import those

asked for help most of the time, and had great, and quick, answers every
time

I am mostly happy with the importing, except from the already mentioned
cant-import-branches-other-than-master-from-git.

Also, being able to have the commit from LP to GIT done automatically
once the branch is approved would be a great thing, although it's ok if
I have to keep doing it manually.
