Well you know my preferences is for github ;). I don't mind much either way though since its a simple repo I rarely need to interact with. The main benefit would be consistency with most of the other pypa things. 

I'm +1 on adding a bug tracker link. Maybe peps should support a header for it similar to discussions-to

That's a better home for bug reports than the mailing list (Note I'm also happy to move the repo for metadata drafts to GitHub if folks would prefer that - it's a pretty simple repo, so git-hg bridges should handle the conversion easily. The issue migration would involve a bit more work, though).
