To back this up...

* The semi-official github.com/ruby/ruby should be just fine for any
non-core folks. I use it exclusively for interacting with MRI
codebase.
* Core devs can certainly use git-svn, and it works really well (with
a possible exception of poor/cumbersome branch and tag handling)

Ultimately I don't think it matters at all to external folks what
ruby-core uses if ruby-core folks are satisfied with the current
situation. Anyone not a committer should just use the github mirror
and stop whining.

In short, it's a family matter. If you're not in the family, stay out of it :)
