With Brett's (hopefully temporary!) absence, who is spearheading the Mercurial conversion? Whoever it is should probably take over PEP 374 and start updating it with the conversion plan, particularly WRT expectations for dates relative to 3.1 final and 2.7 final.
I am willing to take over this. I was in charge of the Mercurial scenarios in the PEP, so it would be natural for me to continue with the transition. In addition, I volunteer to maintain the new Mercurial installation.
Off the top of my head, the following is needed for a successful migration:
- Verify that the repository at http://code.python.org/hg/ is properly converted.
- Convert the current svn commit hooks to Mercurial.
- Add Mercurial support to the issue tracker.
- Update the developer FAQ.
- Setup temporary svn mirrors for the main Mercurial repositories.
- Augment code.python.org infrastructure to support the creation of developer accounts.
- Update the release.py script.
There is probably some other things that I missed, but I think this is a good overview of what needs to be done. And of course, I would welcome anyone who would be willing to help me with the transition.
