Yeah, BitBucket does support it. While I'm not exactly a fan of
BitBucket, it might be best to just continue hosting the repository
for this reason. flake8 has been there for 3 (or more) years now and
that's where people likely expect it to be. I consider this more-so to
be Tarek's decision though and in light of his latest email I created
the PyCQA org on GitHub to have something to host it under. It's in
the tradition of PyCA and PyPA (Python Cryptographic and Packaging
Authorities), but it can be renamed before we add any repos to it
since it can sound rather presumptuous to some (even though it's
mostly in jest).
