It should.  git-svn is bidirectional.

Initially, I thought pushing would require the git tree to be hosted
on gcc.gnu.org, so it could access the svn repository without using
the developer ssh key.

But I wasn't thinking distributed!  If you clone my gcc tree on
git.infradead.org, you'll also end up cloning all the git-svn
info.  So you can use git-svn yourself to push your changes to
gcc.gnu.org!

The only problem is that git-svn uses a very inefficient format to
store its metadata.  It's a few gigs to rsync.
