Sure it’s not the only CI system, but as far as I know bitbucket doesn’t have near the integration possible with CI systems. I make a PR on github I get it tested and the merge button turns green to let me know that the tests run. Travis is popular enough that I’ve seen bitbucket projects hosting a mirror on github just for travis.

In the absence of a proposal to change version control systems (again), the lack of Mercurial hosting on GitHub makes it rather a moot point. Given that we can barely muster up any enthusiasm for rehosting without changing version control systems (and the number of CI systems that integrate with hg.python.org repos other than the main CPython one is exactly zero), any proposal that involves doing even more work seems doubly doomed.

Cheers, Nick.
