Note that not switching from svn on the backend, but still allowing
access with bzr, hg, and git is also an option.  And there are two
subcategories of that: we provide mirrors of svn branches in the native format, and we do nothing, allowing the dvcs's use their svn- bridges to access the branches. Although I think in either case we could provide
hosting support for core committers.

That's already the case, for bzr, right?

Correct, in that there are native bzr branches on code.python.org, which I am currently trying to improve.

If we go this route though, then I think we should evaluate providing the same level of support for other DVCSs people want. I'm not volunteering to maintain the hg or git repos, but if volunteers came forward, we should reorganize the url space and authentication stuff so that they can easily be pulled from c.p.o.

Alternatively, we continue to provide the svn masters and let other hosting facilities mirror the native branches (con: there will be a delay) or let people use their <dvcs>-svn bridges, e.g. bzr-svn.
