I will change my mind when Google and GitHub start using them.

Neither Google nor GitHub are free or open. Bitbucket and Facebook aren't either. I'm not saying they're bad services because of that of course, but I don't want to have to rely on any of them to access python.org resources, and I don't want my choice to be log into Facebook or manage a slew of passwords.

But I'm not volunteering to do the work, so I don't get to decide. I'm just stating that I think our principle should be that you can (not must) use free and open services to access our resources.
