As the PEP points out, the devguide, devinabox, and the PEPs have such a shallow development process that hosting them on Bitbucket wouldn't be a big thing. But if we don't view this as a long-term step towards moving cpython development somehow we are bifurcating our code contributors between git and hg which will be annoying. Now it could be argued that it doesn't matter for the peps and devguide since they are purely text and can be done easily through a web UI and a simple CI in Travis can be set up to make sure that the docs compile cleanly.

Web-based text editors are a poor UI so, while it can be done over the Web, it's not really a good thing to promote (unless we're talking mini-edits such as fixing typos).
