I have a dim recollection of Python moving from Trac to a proprietary,
hosted bug tracker for a while, but now they're back to an open(?)
system but are about to do the same thing with Github.  It's ironic that
Git itself was written to escape the debacle of the Linux kernel using
hosted (Bitkeeper) source control for a while.  As for patch review
discussions, didn't Guido himself write Gerrit?  Somehow it's never been
mentioned here.
