Someone has gone through and created a site a number of years ago. There was a discussion at: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/pygame-mirror-on-google-groups/rUC5CrroA3U The site was available at: http://pygameweb.no-ip.org/ but it seems that the preview is no longer available there. Perhaps Jug can put it back up?
In a nut shell what apparently happened is there was a discussion on creating a new site. Then the convo stalled, but a new site was created. However, there was some backlash because it wasn't properly discussed before the site was created and it remains in limbo. It's a nice site. Faster, cleaner, leaner, more features. The recent conversation began on September 17 in the pygame thread. The subject was Redesigning the pygame.org website Hope that's helpful.
