I'm not sure how that would solve the main problem: People do not like
to read project descriptions and contribution guides :) python/cpython
description already states that it's a read-only mirror of the
Mercurial repository and it took me a second to realize that
python-git/python is a way outdated mirror of the old SVN repository.

I'd propose to set a webhook that will close all pull requests
automatically (with a short informative message) on python/cpython.
I'm planning to finish my merge bot this month so I can write a simple
webhook quickly if needed.
