I tend to either ask the folks at python.org what they could provide or
set up a separate thing. Another option I'd like would be to ask the
OpenLDAP project to host python-ldap. At the moment there are not many
contributions by other developers so I'd keep things simple anyway.

That's a show-stopper. I don't a want proprietary VCS.

I don't like to put things on Google either.
