All right, I'll send it here.

Ah, that's too bad that there is no active maintainer. I recently switched my text editor from Atom to Vim, and the only thing I am missing is Atom's gui for looking at diffs and resolving merge conflicts. I've only used git-gui for a couple days, but it looks like just the tool I need.
I can maintain it (as long as I'm using the tool at least). I'm not particularly fluent with Tcl or Tk, but I'm learning them as I implement the features I need.
Will I get commit access to the main git repo, or should I use a fork and send the changes over here, and one of you folks will merge them?
