FYI, in case you're not aware, there's a pretty strong feeling on emacs-devel that the switch to Git will happen and RMS is not opposed.
I don't know if they'll use remote-bzr, though. It's more likely they'll use one of the already-existing mirrors and sync it up, based on the feedback so far. It's a good time to bring remote-bzr up on emacs-devel if you want it to be considered.
