Someone said Kyle Jones was a developer of it, and we don't have papers from him for this. If you tell us the list of developers we can see who we do or don't have papers from. If the rest of the Python community is okay with moving python-mode.el out of the Python Subversion repository, I'd have no problem GPL'ing it and hosting its development on e.g. Launchpad. If we can get the necessary papers, let's put it in Emacs and develop it there.
