this kind of discussion definitely belongs on the ML. We only have one, so we
use it to discuss basically everything from infrastructure to development to
helping users. :)

It's rather low traffic, so it's usually not a big problem if there is one
mail more coming through.

It's the new web page that will replace the current one with the release of
lxml 1.3 (hopefully soon).

Not speaking for anyone else here, but I guess any PHP based solution is
rather out - unless we find nothing else :)

codespeak has its own tracker by now. Not wiki based, just a simple tracker.
So I guess the decision on the codespeak side was rather against Trac.

Thanks for the offer. But let's wait for a word by the codespeak people first.
