Run svn2git locally using this authors file <https://git-wip-us.apache.org/authors.txt> and push once the conversion result is confirmed. File an INFRA ticket to mark your SVN repository readonly. Optionally, file a ticket to temporarily disable commit emails for when you push your converted clone.
