I can't believe my eyes that I read such a thread already. The poor
repo clearly states it's unofficial mirror. Some dudes without much
clue (*1) submit pull requests against it. So what - someone getting
jealous? Well deserved - there could have been support for the leading
version control system and very popular hosting site long, long
ago.

But well, if you want those pull requests, go and add friendly note to
each along the lines "Hi, you submitted your PR against unattended,
unofficial mirror, there's now official Py repo at ..., we encourage
you to resubmit your patch against it". Nope, shutdown/exterminate.
