Upstream.  I sent a mail to roundup-devel asking if anyone wants to
mentor the project but no one stepped forward.  If you would like to
tackle this project you could write there -- maybe someone will
volunteer as a mentor once they see students are willing to work on
it.

Once it's committed upstream we can easily pull it and use it right away.

Here is our Roundup clone: https://hg.python.org/tracker/roundup/
There are a few minor differences that are kept in a separate branch
called "python-dev".  Eventually these differences should either be
ported upstream or removed altogether, but no one had time to do it
yet.

bugs.python.org is a specific instance of Roundup and the code is at
https://hg.python.org/tracker/python-dev/
You can also find more info at https://wiki.python.org/moin/TrackerDevelopment
