Status update: CPython, Kallithea, & GitLab

[Mads Kiilerich]

Hi

I'm sorry to hear that. But fair enough; nobody have had the resources 
to tweak, configure and present Kallithea to make it a fully implemented 
solution to the specific requirements.

It is not clear from the PEP whether it will be the "open source" (with 
copyright assignment) GitLab CE or the commercial version you will be 
using. That is perhaps also not important for Python. Either way, I'm 
sure the donation will be a good investment for GitLab and I'm sure they 
will work hard to make it a successful showcase.

Nick, thanks for supporting Kallithea!
