So just to get this right: The Subversion admins on python.org do not have to setup anything special for DVCS mirror sites to hook up to the main Subversion repo.
True. If we wanted to host the DVCS branches on python.org, we'd have to set up the update scripts, either cron or something else. We'd probably also want to set up the ViewDVCS web server.
IMHO, those are all feel-good factors which can easily be had by installing a local Subversion repo copy (sync'ed using svnsync (*)), except perhaps regarding merging - but I don't know anything about in what way the DVCSes are better than Subversion. (*) This provides fast reads. Writes will still have to to the main repo site. See http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#webdav-proxy
Writes are the biggest problem to me. I want full access to all my VCS features, even when I'm disconnected from the net.
