I have two suggestions:

1. Conduct the discussion on python-ideas rather than python-dev so as 
to not overwhelm the day-to-day discussions and also to provide a bit of 
psychological distance.

2. Have several focused threads.  Some examples:

Given three experimental setups
a. Experience with bzr
b. Experience with hg
c. Experience with git
later
d. Comparisons based on real experience

Your different comments might best be separately discussed.
"In the PEP, I said 'blah, blah'. Comments?"
