Did SF end up actually integrating Hg hosting properly? They hadn't the last time I looked - it was still a third party addon to Allura. I'll spell this out in the PEP, but the reason I suggest BitBucket in particular is: - it's written in Python - the PSF already has an organisational account set up there - I have admin access, so I can bootstrap other folks as administrators (Christian Heimes & Brian Curtin are also admins) - I know the online editing works reliably, since I maintain the PyPI metadata PEP drafts there - having used both it and GitHub extensively, I'm confident the workflows are similar enough that anyone familiar with GitHub will be able to easily pick up the BitBucket UI

You're putting more thought into the response than I did in the suggestion. =) I just know they claim to host hg repos.

As far as ignoring PR noise goes, we can still request that folks squash any commits (keep in mind that the proposal is only to move pure documentation repos, so long complex PR chains seem unlikely).

Well, requesting that and actually getting it are two different things, especially when I don't know of any way to rewrite a commit message after the fact if we go back to someone and say "your commit message is bad, please fix it". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
