If moving to git will increase the likelihood of patches from outside the team, then that
in itself is a good enough reason to move IMO.

I'm confused, maybe it's your use of a double negative (non-negligible), but that
sounds contradictory?
Are you saying that projects that have moved from SVN to git have had no growth or good
growth in contributions?
