Anyway, I don't think using Bitbucket buys us much. It could be nice to keep a mirror there for redundancy and because it might make contributing slightly easier for non-committers, but it won't allow doing all kinds of custom hooks the way we could do with hg.p.o, AFAICT. Using Bitbucket seems mainly useful if you need the whole suite of services (issue tracker, wiki, etc.).

The most useful features are probably the follow and fork, but for a project as big as Python I'm not sure those are going to be used a lot. The question then becomes whether Python development workflow will remain as-is or would more to a "pull-request" model via bitbucket.

If it's negative, then I see no intrinsic value in the main server being on bitbucket.
