At PyCon, there was general agreement that exposing a read-only Bazaar/Mercurial/git/whatever version of the repository wouldn't be too much effort, and might make things easier for external people developing patches.

I really believe this is just a red herring, pushed by some SCM wonk. The problem with patch submission has absolutely nothing to do with tools. Do we have any evidence that new developers are getting frustrated because they can't handle their patches well enough with the current tools?
