As far as GNU and the FSF are concerned, I don't think the agenda is "hidden" at all ;-)
Now some entirely practical points.
- I am basically the only remaining active PEP editor, so I see most PEP contributions by non-core-committers. Almost all of these uses github. Not bitbucket, not some other git host, but github. I spend a fair amount of time applying patches. It would most definitely be easier if I could get them to send me pull requests.
Are you sure that those contributors wouldn't want to use Bitbucket - or another hg-based hosting service? A PEP contributor is someone who is likely to contribute CPython code as well - so they would have to know hg. Regards Antoine.
