The overall process for data hosting in connection with newstuff.kde.org is 
documented here:
http://svn.kstuff.org/browser/trunk/hotstuff/svn-repos.txt

Hence it's a model of three layers which for KsirK looks like the following.

[SVN repository] -> [GHNS Repository] -> [Application w/ KNS]

For the SVN access you will need a "kdedata" SVN account which is unrelated to 
all other KDE accounts - or alternatively connect the application's GHNS 
repository to another SVN account not hosted on this server, or connect the 
application to another GHNS repository entirely. Git is currently not 
supported by the Hotstuff processing scripts because the code hasn't seen 
updates for several years, though it wouldn't be terrible hard to add it, 
either, so that it'd become another alternative. Synchrotron would be a 
server-side alternative which supports Git.

The last update to the ksirk section of the repository was made by kleag in 
2008. Hence, if you just want a small maintenance update, performing the SVN 
commits would be the least amount of work. I'm going to send you your account 
information.

On a side note, it looks like the SVN repository isn't used much anymore in 
general, with the last update having been nearly two years ago. I've now 
disabled all other accounts (including my own one) for security reasons and 
will re-activate them on request with a new password. I'd also like to point 
out that this repository isn't covered by KDE sysadmin backups so if there is 
interest in including it or storing a snapshot of it somewhere (currently 16 
MB) to not lose history, go ahead.
