+ I see that completion script gets updated in lockstep with stg(1)'s
  argv parser.

- _stgit and stgit.zsh are licenced differently.

Being licenced under the same terms as zsh itself seems to be outweighed
by not being regularly updated.  So, I've pushed this.  The last version
is of course still available in our version control history.

StGit is also used by vcs_info, here:

https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/b76dcecfe3461aa9a9e29dffe2484f097611f9ff/Functions/VCS_Info/Backends/VCS_INFO_get_data_git#L187-L194

(There doesn't seem to be StGit-specific code elsewhere in the file or
in the sibling file VCS_INFO_detect_git.)

Any chance that someone who uses both StGit and zsh could review that?
That code is supposed to populate $gitmisc (and thus the %m expando)
with information about pushed and not-yet-pushed patches.

To test that:

[[[
autoload vcs_info
precmd() { vcs_info }
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' formats %m
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' actionformats %m
]]]

Welcome :-)
