Could you summarize the motivations for such a move ? ISTM that the problem is more about the management of PyPI, rather than its code. Here's my summary: 1 - PyPI was down less than 2 days in 365 days IIRC. PyPI lacks of sysadmins, we need more in several timezone. A sysadmin just relaunch the service, like MvL or Jannis did. 2 - Some people in the community are frustrated with the current process of getting a feature in PyPI. I don't have a strong opinion in this but I think having the code in a DVCS would be better. hg.python.org would open the codebase to all python core comitters, and people would be able to request pulls. Sure, writing something in GSOC would be fun, but if we want to address the real problems, its not in the code field imo.
