Yes, maintainer of the bpo also showed some demos of REST API addition to build other features and gsoc student working on few features like markdown support during this year core dev sprints. There is a separate pep for actual migration https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0588/ . I am not sure when it would take effect or so given the depth of bpo in core dev workflow. There is also an open issue to track workflows that are missing in GitHub but present in bpo : https://github.com/python/core-workflow/issues/359
