I meant that bringing distlib into http://hg.python.org/cpython/ would give it more visibility to core devs and others that already keep an eye on python-checkins (the mailing list). And I think seeing the Sphinx-processed docs integrated and cross-referenced with http://docs.python.org/dev/ will help people understand better what has been done and how it fits in with the rest of CPython -- which I think would be useful to the community. It may also encourage involvement (e.g. by being part of the main tracker).

On the other hand it makes contributing to it more annoying since it does not have pull requests, unless it was just a mirror.

Maybe just the finished/production-ready pieces could be added as they are ready, with the main development happening outside. My understanding of distlib is that it's a collection of independent, bite-sized pieces of functionality, which could lend itself well to such a process.
