Hi all,
I've been looking for a Github mirror for Python, and found two:
* https://github.com/python-git/python has a lot of forks/watches/starts but seems to be very out of date (last updated 4 years ago) * https://github.com/python-mirror/python doesn't appear to be very popular but is updated daily
Are some of you the owners of these repositories? Should we consolidate to a single "semi-official" mirror?

Does the PSF have an official account on github? We have one on bitbucket...
I don't remember who runs this, and I thought I was in it (maybe just on BB), but: https://github.com/python
This appears to be a good place, but it doesn't have an actual mirror (yet?) ;-)
Based on the list of people who are members of github.com/python it's as official as it's going to get (depends on who of that group owns it).
But assuming whomever owns it is okay with hosting a mirror, what exactly is going to be required to have it updated regularly? Someone is going to have to write the scripts to pull from the hg repo and then push up to github else it's just going to end up out-of-date on top of maintaining whatever setup is devised.
It's slightly more work than this. You need to keep all the features relying on hg work, like the revision version it was compiled from etc.
To be honest, if people are going to spend time tinkering with our VCS infrastructure, one of the most interesting things we could do is explore what would be involved in setting up RhodeCode on hg.python.org :) (For those that haven't seen it, RhodeCode seems broadly comparable to BitBucket feature wise, but because of the way it is licensed, the source code is freely available to all, and running your own instance is free-as-in-beer for non-profits and open source projects). Cheers, Nick.
