But I will prepare small description on our wiki.

In the current setup no. You have to send your public key to the admin. 
But it is possible to enable ordinary users to change their keys.

Fixed.

Yes, only builder of the given PLD flavour can write them. None (even
builders) can remove or rewrite them.

If you use builder script everything should be the same. The difference
is that in git branches and tags are in separate name spaces so it is
possible to have concurrently a branch DEVEL, and a tag DEVEL pointing
to different commits.

ciabot - implemented
cdg - for now I would leave it in CVS
sending notifications to distfiles and pld-cvs - implemented
filter_tas.sh - seems to be not used currently

It is taken into account. The conversion is based on *,v file rsynced
from cvs.pld-linux.org

My estimate is about 12-18h on carme.

Yes. Gitweb is a perl code developed together with git. Cgit is written
in C and developed separately.
