We are just using GitHub PRs as a convenient place to review patches. Any
commits against hg.python.org/jython occur via a manual commit.

We will be using https://github.com/jython/ for 2.7.2 and get off of hg. To
do so, we first want to modernize our build process to use Maven
dependencies (via Gradle); and filter out the extlib jars from the repo (so
no more included binaries).

I like the way GitHub gives us a build server (but not the way it's

Darjus Loktevic set this up this CI earlier this year, and it has been very
convenient in finding bugs for us to fix ;) such as the deadlock, now
publication bug that has been blocking 2.7.1 (
http://bugs.jython.org/issue2487)  I especially like how CircleCI works as
a JVM with the turbo button (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button)
turned off - very handy for finding bugs due to timing races.
