Yes, it works based on emails, since that's easiest way to get
people to submit entries.
PR, issue trackers, etc. would introduce an extra level of
indirection which would result in fewer events being submitted.
The entries also need to be screened for validity, a choice of
calendar has to be made and a check for duplicates/completeness
of the information is necessary. It's easier to do this manually
than trying to come up with a foolproof automated AI system :-)
BTW: I'm not sure what you mean with "scrape the pycon.org list".
You can access the event listings using iCal as described on the
wiki page.
