It is clear that git is a capable tool. There were three reasons given in Brett's decision message: 1. No major distinguishing features between GitHub or GitLab Note that GitHub and GitLab were the only proposals under consideration; nobody else stepped up to champion any other solution. 2. Familiarity amongst core devs -- and external contributors -- with GitHub 3. Guido prefers GitHub Guido repeatedly stated that his preference should not be taken into account. I believe Brett gave it little weight, but obviously it was in his mind. -- Zach -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
