I would like to propose a policy for hg.python.org, based on mercurial queues + bugs.python.org, and I would like to contribute a small guide about it in python.org/dev.
Sounds good. We can probably make mq optional, since regular diffs would work as well (except that they wouldn't contain the original committer name, but that isn't different from what we have today).
Agreed. The policy can just require patches and thus let people choose
their local workflow (many commits in a named branch/bookmark/pbranch
and then diff, MQ for moar power, or just edit things to get a diff
without using a fancy command (like now)).
The policy should say something about authorship attribution.
Mercurial-made diffs contain the user name in a special comment which is
used by hg import, plain diffs can be applied with patch and then
committed with “hg commit --user "Bill
