Has the Python insider blog really accumulated enough history and cruft to make this move problematic? It's a fairly new blog, with not much content in it. From my blogging experience, Blogger has other limitations which eventually bite you, and since it's not very flexible you can either live with it or move to a more flexible platform.
It's not just the Python Insider blog that is affected (and any effort directed towards platform changes is effort that isn't going towards writing new articles. Of course, if Blogger don't fix the currrent problems, then that will be a moot point - moving will be necessary to get anything done).
In general, though, infrastructure changes start from a position of "not worth the hassle", just like code changes. It takes a pretty compelling set of features to justify switching, and, while Blogger isn't the best engine out there, it isn't terrible either (especially once you replace their lousy comment system with something that is at least half usable like DISQUS).
Cheers, Nick.
