Not this Tim.  I _asked_ whether we had sufficient volunteer resource
to host it on python.org, because I didn't know.  Barry has since made
sufficiently reassuring gurgles on that point, in particular that
ongoing maintenance (after initial conversion) for filesystem-flavor
SVN is likely in-the-noise level work.
