I'll see if I can find someone at the DjangoCon sprints who might be
able to give suggestions of what to do. The sprints are at the offices
of Eric from ReadTheDocs, so one would think I might be able to get an
answer.

You'd have to ask someone more knowledgeable (Graham has already ported the mod_wsgi docs so he might know). From RTD's documentation, it seems accounts can be whitelisted for code execution[2], Graham probably wouldn't have any issue getting flagged for a pair of bilding commands (and barring that, the compiled PEPs could always be committed to the repo).
