The RhodeCode team got in touch with me offline to suggest the
possibility of using RhodeCode Enterprise as a self-hosted solution
rather than a volunteer-supported installation of Kallithea. I'll be
talking to them tomorrow, and if that discussion goes well, will
update PEP 474 (and potentially PEP 462) accordingly.

Given that that would take away the "volunteer supported" vs
"commercially supported" distinction between self-hosting and using
GitHub (as well as potentially building a useful relationship that may
help us resolve other workflow issues in the future), I'd like us to
hold off on any significant decisions regarding the fate of any of the
repos until I've had a chance to incorporate the results of that
discussion into my proposals.

As described in PEP 474, I'm aware of the Mercurial team's concerns
with RhodeCode's current licensing, but still consider it a superior
alternative to an outright proprietary solution that doesn't get us
any closer to solving the workflow problems with the main CPython
repo.

Regards,
Nick.

P.S. I'll also bring up some of the RFEs raised in this discussion
around making it possible for folks to submit pull requests via
GitHub/BitBucket, even if the master repositories are hosted on PSF
infrastructure.
