As a data point — I had a pretty good experience with GitHub helping me out when I was trying to reclaim an organization using my company name. In that case it turned out that they just gave me the contact for the person and I worked it out from there, but it’d seemed like they were willing to take a more… forceful approach if it was needed.
Perhaps the better / easier solution is to promote the \*real\* “Sem-official read-only mirror of the Python Mercurial repository” \[1\] ? And perhaps this goes away entirely (in time) with PEP-512 \[2\]?
