I'm probably not the best person to participate in this.  While I definitely
can understand the appeal and applaud the effort to provide Python developers
with a really fantastic Emacs-based development environment, it's probably not
something I would personally use.  But hey, I'm old so ignore me and go for
it! :)

I think you'll have problems keeping two different locations for the same
functionality in sync.  I'm not in favor of splitting python-mode.el up much
personally because I think it's really easy for people to grab and install as
one file.  Perhaps think about building optional tools around python-mode and
keeping python-mode.el as the basic support for .py file editing?

I see no reason why this larger effort couldn't be housed inside the
python-mode project on Launchpad though, as long as we continue to make it
easy (and obvious) how to download and install python-mode.el for those
wanting something simpler.
