+1 from me, as even if commercial redistributors do decide they want to collaborate on a post-2020 Python 2.7 maintenance branch, there's no technical reason that that needs to live under the "python" GitHub organisation, and some solid logistical reasons for it to live somewhere more explicitly vendor managed.

It would be good to have some email list of the commercial redistributors (Linux distro maintainers + people from Anaconda etc.). Could python.org host it?

Best,

..every Man has a Property in his own Person. This no Body has any Right to but himself. The Labour of his Body, and the Work of his Hands, we may say, are properly his. .... The great and chief end therefore, of Mens uniting into Commonwealths, and putting themselves under Government, is the Preservation of their Property. -- John Locke, "A Treatise Concerning Civil Government"
