Unfortunately, I can't give much time to it, or actual contributions. I think it would be great to apply at least the miscellanous-changes part to (i) move this further (ii) give jh some positive feedback. :) There are ugly minor things, but they can be patched up later. I think it's healthier for new gitweb stuff to develop more in-tree, even if that means few angry users annoyed about less-than-perfect UI stuff, rather than polish the diamond in infinite discussions; worse is better! The only thing we should be worried about is avoiding introducing new bad URL interfaces since we should keep backwards compatibility there.

But Jakub's opinion is definitely much more important, he gives gitweb much more time than me.

For the main caching patch, it seems like good idea to take Jakub's split-up series instead, let's see what is J.H.'s opinion on the series?
