Hum... Someone has disabled Git. I've put that on my own repository on
Alioth instead:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/zigo/python-itsdangerous.git
http://git.debian.org/git/users/zigo/python-itsdangerous.git

We were supposed to move to Git, though since some imposed to switch all
or nothing, then it hasn't happened yet. Before the python-modules team
switches to Git, I would suggest to *not* upload there, that would be a
waste of time, and using backward tools like SVN. I personally decided
to never upload new packaging code to SVN, even if this means not
uploading to the team repository, unfortunately.

Let me know if you need help, or if I can sponsor the upload / NMU,
Cheers,
