I'm not sure that better alternatives for some of what SF does couldn't be gotten with reasonable effort. For example, on a quiet machine, I just did a cvs up on a fully up-to-date Python, via SF.

It is probably possible to find somebody to host the Python CVS and offer enough connectivity to give more performant service than SF. However, there is more to hosting such a service: You need user management, email notifications, backups, and occasional hand-editing of the CVS repository. I would expect that it might consume significant time (several hours a week) to host the Python CVS. (Time per project reduces if you host several projects)

So from your message, I still don't see who could be taking over the Python CVS. Skip, did you have anybody specific in mind?
