Just a quick update so people know what's going on.

First, thanks to Maciej Szulik for stepping up to help with bugs.python.org
changes! There are now patches to add a GitHub field for user accounts and
adding an endpoint for that data at
http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/issue579 and
http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/issue581, respectively. Ezio
has told me he is busy ATM but is hoping to help get this stuff in the
middle of this month (although I'm sure patch reviews are always welcome).

Two, Senthil is still tracking the git -> hg migration tool choices at
https://github.com/orsenthil/cpython-hg-to-git . Since we're not migrating
yet there is no need to worry about getting an answer to this problem right
now. It sounds like hg-git might win out, in which case it might be worth
looking at what difference there may be between the ideal conversion and
what is already at https://github.com/python/cpython since if the output is
close enough it might be nicer to simply keep the current repo and not
break people's pre-existing checkouts.

Three, the CLA bot is coded sans the work required to integrate with the
future b.p.o endpoint: https://github.com/brettcannon/knights-who-say-ni.
At some point I will need a GitHub account for the bot and to get it hosted
on Heroku which is all stuff for infrastructure@ (which I'm handling). I
also need to move it over to the python org on GitHub instead of keeping it
under my personal account now that I have ownership privileges for the
 python org.

Because people keep asking me privately, my hoped-for timeline is to get
the non-cpython repositories moved over by PyCon US 2016. As for the
cpython repo itself, my hope is to be ready to switch after Python 3.6.0 is
released (which is slated for December of this year). It may be possible to
move the cpython repo sooner, but there are enough parts to that migration
that it might be hard to get everything together faster than that, plus I
will need to talk with the 3.6 release manager to see if they are even
willing to migrate during the alpha or beta cycles of 3.6. But I definitely
want to try and see this completed no later than a year from when I
announced the final decision to move (which was Jan 1 of this year).
