It is implemented in Python, and I'm interested in the PAPT; thanks
for the invite.

Unfortunately (as <URL:irc://irc.oftc.net/#debian-python> made clear
in a conversation earlier this evening), the PAPT won't allow packages
to use any VCS but their chosen repository, which is currently a
Subversion back-end.

Since my VCS preference, and that of my upstream, is Bazaar, this
makes PAPT more of a burden than I was looking for. Alioth was
attractive for this package largely *because* it provides hosted
Bazaar repositories.

Thanks again!
