With the new very friendly git UIs (e.g. GitHub's are http://windows.github.com/ and http://mac.github.com/, but there are others), I don't think it's asking too much for designers to use git for the source files of assets that are actually being committed/deployed. If they use the GitHub UI, we can use Yuvi's tool to sync with Gerrit.
If people want further guidance on git (and its UIs), it is worth setting up a tutorial/walkthrough. Version control is important for anyone working on something that changes over time, whether it's code or art. As Brion says, committing only the PNGs (or other rasters) quite commonly leads to repeated work.
