What about SVK's speed, though?  

There was discussion of providing a DVCS mirror of the Python SVN, so
I tried at making a copy of the repository via SVK, and SVK looked
like it was going to be painfully slow; I calculated something like 13
hours to create the initial mirror (but I killed it after an hour, so that's an estimate).  

Python has about 55,000 revisions, so mirroring is obviously a big
job, but that seems unusably slow.  Maybe Mailman is small enough to
take a more reasonable time.
