Yes, it makes great sense to me as well. We'll have git19 SCL once 
anyway, so if 1.9 is fine for you for now, who not going this way.

I've finally prepared some "Getting involved" steps [1]. Please, give me 
know if there is any other info needed.

My rough plan for now (next hours/days) is to ask for bundle request for 
all RHSCL-1.2 components, so we don't need to ask for them specifically. 
I should also be able to do some mass import, and then we'll need to 
build the RPMs -- the part where any help will be handy :)
