If I understand correctly, the proposal that started this thread was
to give people a chance to tidy their HOME directory by moving
personal git configuration under ~/.config/git/.  

So it is exactly "I do not want ~/.gitconfig, I want ~/.config/git", no?

That is something distro should be able to decide.

Except that there is nothing distro-specific about it.  Do you really
want the config file to have a different name depending on whether one
is using Debian, Fedora, Mac OS X, Gentoo, one of the various builds of
git on Windows, Solaris, ...?

I agree. Please don't encourage distro to make incompatible
configuration changes.
