I don't remember who runs this, and I thought I was in it (maybe just on BB), but: https://github.com/python This appears to be a good place, but it doesn't have an actual mirror (yet?) ;-) Based on the list of people who are members of github.com/python it's as official as it's going to get (depends on who of that group owns it). But assuming whomever owns it is okay with hosting a mirror, what exactly is going to be required to have it updated regularly? Someone is going to have to write the scripts to pull from the hg repo and then push up to github else it's just going to end up out-of-date on top of maintaining whatever setup is devised.

It's slightly more work than this. You need to keep all the features relying on hg work, like the revision version it was compiled from etc.
