Maintaining an accurate cvs->git mirror is not trivial (I know, from experience with the full repositories of coreutils, emacs, libc, and a few more). If you can do it well and keep it accurate, then it'd make a fine and very welcome service.
I've found that the initial conversion works best with cvsparse.

FYI, sources here
git-clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~keithp/parsecvs
It's _much_ more efficient than git-cvsimport, and more reliable, too.
