I've had a similar ideas proposed to me before by a few people - not so much
about the project hosting but more towards a less-pygame-specific site for
discussion and community.

Integrating with pyweek could also be cool :)

Also putting up a general python game programming forum might be a good idea
too. And perhaps a more open & powerful wiki than the pygame.org one. And a
news blog thing perhaps too.
The nice thing about those components is you can just grab phpbb, mediawiki,
gallery, wordpress and plug them all together (like sooo many other sites --
see for example www.eeeuser.com for this kind of thing). The trick is to get
single sign-on working...

The project hosting stuff might need to be a fresh development, though
obviously Phil has done a pretty amazing job on the code running on
pygame.org and that could hopefully be reused!
