I also would like to see a single official repository, whether git/github or otherwise, with continued incorporation of patches/improvements. (Some time ago I submitted patches for the scigraph portion of mcclim which I would have liked to seen included.) Has there been any movement on this, especially as regards quicklisp?

Same here. I'm too in favor to switch to git (which is clearly easier
than CVS) but keeping the official mcclim repository where the project
is seems better to me. github is cool, fun, social and whatnot but I
find it hard to get an official software out of it.
