Yea this is essentially what I meant. We already have “unofficial” mirrors for PEPs and CPython itself on Github that are updated a few times a day. It wouldn’t be very difficult I think to make them official mirrors and update them immediately after a push.

Then just some integration with Roundup would enable people to send PRs on Github.

Exactly. In my mind this eliminates almost all the controversy in this discussion. The question of switching hosting provider or DVCS becomes something to discuss separately (and probably just drop since at that point it doesn't improve much over the status quo). Of course, it does not address the more pressing concern of how to get contributions landed more quickly/steadily. :( However, that is largely what Nick addresses in PEP 462. :)
