A quick search found the following message by Dirkjan, but it is likely earlier messages on the subject had been posted too: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-July/090325.html By the way, the "pymigr" repository where the "all-branches.txt" file is stored is now only accessible through the ssh:// URLs, as someone complained that unmangled e-mail addresses of former committers were given out by the Web UI (in the "author-map" file). Regardless, since Alexander's previous work was in the sandbox repo (not the python repo), I don't think it would have been possible to integrate it during the hg migration.
