Plone should do something for this, it sounds very well suited? Any plone people about? I guess moinmoin/trac too :) What about some Django or pyramid teams?
People from the PSF will probably also put in a proposal, since lots are web people. Which ones?
A top agency could probably charge at least $1 million for something like this. So I doubt there will be a top result... unless they do it pro bono. Which would let USA companies do it as a tax right off if I'm not mistaken? Maybe one of the sponsors will put in a bid: Facebook, Google, or Dropbox?
All very exciting.
Or perhaps some wunderkid-wizard-wonk will hack tirelessly on their keyboard+wacom - powered only by a will to provide pythonistas everywhere a great website. They will about face everything with a fresh open approach, that turns the ideas upside down and puts code and projects first, doing an edgy remix of pypi, that integrates an IDE console inside the website (or coming up with an actual good idea) that makes people think "why weren't all programming websites like this already?". They'll do all this before the submission period is even up, having gathered feedback and evolved their idea consulting tens of 1000s of pythonists, djangonaughts, and people from other communities. Time magazine will have a picture of them next to the new python.org with the headline in all caps... "EPIC".
