My understanding is that by hosting the docs at RTD, we'll be getting better search feature powered by Elasticsearch, instead of the built-in sphinx search. If so, I would prefer this route.

Last I heard from then, RTD was struggling financially. Hosting isn't really free, you know -- nor is administering a site like that :-). The PSF should offer to cover their costs for hosting the Python docs, which I presume are pretty dang popular compared to many other things currently hosted at RTD -- the peps and devguide won't cause any load in comparison.
Is Gihub Pages considered an option? We host the asyncpg docs [1] there. Builds are done by Travis. The advantage is that we don't have to add another service dependency.
I guess so. No one has ever suggested it before or bothered to set it up to show how it would work. :)
GH Pages don't need much to setup. You have to choose between Org Pages (at the root of the subdomain) and Repo Pages (in subdirectories). I even believe GH Pages can do both on the same subdomain but I've never tried.
GH Pages support custom domain redirects [1]. "setup" in this case is putting together scripts to automate sphinx runs and the git push of the compiled output to the appropriate repo/branch.
So we would have to either set up another repo or commit the rendered files to the repo?
If there's interest in pursuing this option, I can help with setting things up.
I assume we would lose the widget Read the Docs provides which is handy for getting to the GitHub page for editing the content? I guess we lose anything else that https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/features.html lists.
I'm just trying to think of what we gain/lose if we switch to GH Pages over RTFD as I don't want to end up with three different documentation hosting solutions sort of like we have now where we build the devguide, PEPs, and the docs themselves in special ways that all happen to be hosted on PSF infrastructure (e.g. getting Pygments installed for the PEPs has stalled out and it would be good that any solution we choose be flexible enough to handle this kind of situation: https://github.com/ python/peps/pull/229/files/70c6c1d010c1d50a375430c4ba6ae3 e4f439306c#r107471836).
