Python to move to GitHub

Just over one year ago, LWN covered thedeliberations within the Python project on how to improve itsdevelopment workflow. Now, after much discussion, it has been announcedthat the project will be moving over to GitHub. "While there werepeople who publicly said they would prefer not to go with GitHub but wouldbegrudgingly use it if we chose to go that route, I had multiple core devsemail me privately saying they hoped I would choose GitHub. I think most ofthat stemmed from having used GitHub for other open source projects and/orwork, making even dormant core devs say they would be able to become activeagain if we switched to GitHub thanks to eliminating the barrier of havingto keep up with our custom workflow for code reviews and using hg forcommits."
