The PEP should also cover providing clear instructions for setting up git-remote-hg with the remaining Mercurial repos (most notably CPython), as well as documenting a supported workflow for generating patches based on the existing CPython GitHub mirror.

I can add this. I’ve never actually tried using git-remote-hg with CPython itself because I’ve made it segfault on other Mercurial repositories and I never figured out why so I just generally fight my way through using Mercurial on projects that themselves use Mercurial. I will absolutely test to see if git-remote-hg works with CPython and I can document using that to contribute to CPython. I’m not sure it needs to be part of the PEP or not? Feels like something that would be better inside the devguide itself but I’m not opposed to putting it both locations.

Nevermind. I’m not going to add this because git-remote-hg is busted with the latest version of Mercurial and I don’t think it’s really needed for this PEP (though would be good for the devguide at some point).
