The technical benefits mostly come from Github generally being a higher quality product than it’s competitors, both FOSS and not.
Here's a solution to allow contribution via PR while not requiring anything to switch VCS or hosting:
1. Set up mirrors of a desired repo on any hosting providers we choose. 2. Set up a webhook for PRs that automatically creates/re-uses a tracker ticket with the diff from the PR.
The workflow does not change for the committer, but it gets easier to contribute.
I did something like this for juju (https://github.com/juju/juju) when we switched to github, weren't satisfied with their code review tool, and switched to something else. We have a web hook that automatically creates a review request for new PRs and updates the review request when the PR gets updated.

Yea this is essentially what I meant. We already have “unofficial” mirrors for PEPs and CPython itself on Github that are updated a few times a day. It wouldn’t be very difficult I think to make them official mirrors and update them immediately after a push. Then just some integration with Roundup would enable people to send PRs on Github. --- Donald Stufft PGP: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
