Create our own sandbox. I actually keep my sandbox on Bitbucket, but I
still have one on hg.python.org as well in case I want to try
something out on the buildbots.

For collaboration on particular features, a feature clone under
/features can be a good idea.

You can just use the "server-side clone" link when looking at
http://hg.python.org/cpython/

Cheers,
Nick.
