For those of you who have not heard, I made the decision a little over a week ago to move Python's development from our home-grown workflow to one hosted on GitHub (mainly for code hosting and code review; we're keeping bugs.python.org <http://bugs.python.org> for our issue tracker). The hope is that this will let core developers work through patches faster so that we have a better turn-around time while being at least as good as our current workflow for external contributors (but I will be shocked if it isn't better). There are also people involved with the migration who plan to put in the effort to make sure external contributors can still submit patches without ever interacting with GitHub.

If you want to help with the transition, then feel free to join the core-workflow mailing list where all the discussions on the details of the migration are occurring (including the PEP I'm starting to write to outline the steps we will be taking): https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/core-workflow

Is there a gmane mirror, or do you think this is too limited (and temporary) for that?
