That feature list should be discussed :-) For example I don't think
downloading dependencies with pip is desirable compared to the ease of
cloning a single repo (also what happens if the files become
unavailable?).

I don't know who uses codespeed apart from PyPy, but asv is a possible
benchmark runner:

I probably won't be at PyCon.
