I don't know about adding this script to contrib/ section (you would probably need to send properly formatted patch adding it in approriate place in contrib/), but could each of you add your project to the

  http://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools

page on Git Wiki?  Thanks in advance.

P.S. I wonder how hard would be to add native support for "dumb" ftp:// protocol, so that "git fetch ftp://example.com/repo.git" _and_ "git push ftp://example.com/repo.git" works.
