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.
