This is no answer but an opinion ;-)

I was asking why we don't use python.org instead of bitbucket.
Before, we had codespeak.net which was very convenient because
I knew all relevant people in person.
Python used sourceforge before, but preferred to have the freedom
to host their data themselves.
By using python.org, PyPy would have similar convenience as
before.
Therefore my question: What makes bitbucket the better choice over
python.org, despite free t-shirts?  (which might be an important reason
for some :-) )
