PEP 581 and Google Summer of Code

Hello,
earlier today it was announced on python-dev[0] that PEP 581[1] has
been accepted.
PEP 581 proposes that CPython abandons Roundup in favor of using GitHub issues.
The migration plan is described in PEP 588[2], which is still a draft
and not yet accepted, so it will likely take some time before PEP 588
is approved and the actual migration takes place.
In the same thread, Guido said[3] that people can submit PR to the
peps repo[4] to correct factual errors in the PEP 581 or to write a
PEP against the move.  Berker Peksag and I are working on a PEP about
improving bugs.python.org (b.p.o).

Before the announcement, I also submitted a Google Summer of Code
(GSoC) idea[5] with the goal of porting the REST API to b.p.o and
develop tools that use it.  The idea got accepted, and I got a student
that will start working on the project next week.  If CPython abandons
Roundup, the focus of the project will likely shift from developing
b.p.o-specific tools, to generic tools that can be used by any Roundup
user.  This will depend on how the situation evolves in the following
days.

Best Regards,
Ezio Melotti
