Can we even ask github to pull it down and reasonably expect them to comply? Their entire model is built on everyone forking everyone else.

As a data point — I had a pretty good experience with GitHub helping me out when I was trying to reclaim an organization using my company name. In that case it turned out that they just gave me the contact for the person and I worked it out from there, but it’d seemed like they were willing to take a more… forceful approach if it was needed.

Perhaps the better / easier solution is to promote the real “Sem-official read-only mirror of the Python Mercurial repository” [1] ? And perhaps this goes away entirely (in time) with PEP-512 [2]?
