Given that mysql-connector is shipped by the official mysql devs (ie: Oracle), I'm not much looking forward to convincing Oracle to ship their software through another repo. How important is this? Do we have other avenues available to us?
A number of us go way back at MySQL and know the maintainers of the connectors (Python and otherwise) as ex-colleagues. I'm pretty sure any of the connector maintainers would be happy to work with the community in the most effective ways possible, especially with a little assistance from our end.
If you need me to reach out to anyone there, I'd be happy to do so. Same goes for Percona and Monty Program AB (MariaDB folks), since both those companies also have old colleagues working there. I don't want to speak for Monty Taylor, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have a problem reaching out either, if he hasn't done so already.
