It may be a crazy idea, but the more I switch platforms the more I have the impression that getting software via cvs (or svn, maybe) is the easiest thing.

It wouldn't help Windows users much. Sensible platforms that come with CVS/SVN usually have their own packaging mechanisms.

Couldn't pypi record the needed info for this?

It could be added. I'd like to add support for DOAP (http://usefulinc.com/doap) to PyPI at some point, which does include such information; it would make sense to add things that are in DOAP but not currently in PyPI.
