Since there are a few Smalltalk experts around, let me ask: what's the deal with Monticello? Is it legacy cruft and we should just migrate to Git, or is there something more to it?

Monticello lets you export/import code between your image and text files which can then be managed by a vcs like git. Created by Avi Bryant.

"Cuis-Smalltalk uses GitHub to host, version, diff its core development and to manage a set of external packages (i.e. code that is maintained independently and outside Cuis-Smalltalk but closely related to it).

Package files are simple text files, encoded for latin alphabet (ISO 8859-15) and handled without problems by GitHub. Cuis-Smalltalk uses the LF (ascii code 10) newline convention, as preferred in GitHub. This allows Git/GitHub to diff versions, and merge branches."
