Now that the vote is closed in favor of moving to Git what are the next steps?
Do we need to open an INFRA ticket to get this done?
Who will open it?
Is there any preferred point of time to do this?

Anyone on the PMC can open such a ticket, there is a canonical thread
here to prove consensus.

It depends...
The read-only mirror that we currently have _can_ be repurposed as a r/w
repository, which means the cutover could be quite instant. I'd advise
that folks make the necessary checks and ensure that the git repo has
accurate history and contents (specifically the current state of
trunk/2.4/etc). When we are satisfied, we can ask Infra to switch the
mirror over to a read/write mode. Subversion history will be preserved,
and the subversion dir will be locked to read-only (assuming we don't
have other resources there we need to write to still).

The bigger task comes after that, as all the source links in docs, our
web site etc, will need to be updated, but that can happen after the fact.

Thanks for the process. What about the commit mails currently going to cvs@httpd.apache.org? Do we need to do something to ensure
that git commits get send there in the future?

All notification schemes and other repository settings for git repos are
handled via the .asf.yaml metadata file[1] and is entirely self-serve.
Each repository we have can have individual settings.
