Hello,

I'd like to volunteer for that part given the fact that I am currently working on the patches for the mirroring thing in a branch of PyPI. The work is described here : http://wiki.python.org/moin/PEP%20374 It changed a bit and I need to update it, but you get the idea there.

For the record, when working on a PEP draft on the Wiki or Google docs, it's worth asking the PEP editors (or any of the SVN committers really) to reserve a PEP number once things start to progress to the point where folks need a common shorthand reference to the document.

PEP 374 for example, is already a placeholder for the SVN to DVCS migration PEP: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0374/

We aren't going to run out of PEP numbers anytime soon - it's OK if some of them get "wasted" on draft PEPs that end up getting abandoned. (Better that than having multiple draft PEPs being referred to with the same number as appears to be the case at the moment).

Cheers, Nick.
