Yea this is essentially what I meant. We already have “unofficial” mirrors
for PEPs and CPython itself on Github that are updated a few times a day.
It wouldn’t be very difficult I think to make them official mirrors and
update them immediately after a push.
Then just some integration with Roundup would enable people to send PRs
on Github.
