- I am basically the only remaining active PEP editor, so I see most PEP contributions by non-core-committers. Almost all of these uses github. Not bitbucket, not some other git host, but github. I spend a fair amount of time applying patches. It would most definitely be easier if I could get them to send me pull requests.
The scope of the PEP is still apparently somewhat fluid. I said elsewhere that I think the principal maintainers of a specialized single-branch repository should have the principal say in where it lives. So I think you should be the one to decide on a PEP limited to moving the PEP repository.
My understanding is that if the peps were moved to github, then I would be able to suggest changes via an online web form that would generate a pull request from edited text. If so, I would say go ahead and move them and see how it goes.
To me, the multibranch CPython repository is a very different issue. I think it should stay where it is for now, especially with 2.7 support extended. I think for this we should better focus on better use of developer time and getting more developers active.
