There's a few existing hosting solutions:
1. Launchpad (+ Bazaar as the default vcs) 2. Bitbucket (+ Mercurial as the default vcs) 3. Github (+ Git as the default vcs)
As a very-occasional Twisted contributor (but a long-time fan!) I'll vote for option 3. I'm not particularly a fan of Github[1], but Git is the DVCS I know best, and I'd be more than happy for Twisted Labs to make it easier for me (and people like me) to contribute. On the other hand, using git would probably complicate the build/review process: since Github repositories are (as far as I know) owned by individuals, you might not be able to set up access for multiple people, and hence the current scheme of "push your changes to a branch on the central server, tell the buildbots to build it" might not be possible. Tim. [1] In fact, I'm vaguely uneasy about "distributed version control" being so centralised on a single piece of commercially-owned infrastructure. On the other hand, the only hosted alternative would be Gitorious, and it doesn't have a lot of the shiny features Github has, like bug-tracking.
