>both Launchpad and Bazaar were seen as too close to Canonical
I think it's more that Launchpad is terribad. No matter how much I used it, I struggled to get to the code so I could read it. It looks like it's been somewhat fixes now with a small "Browse the code" link on the project landing site. It used to be like 4 clicks if you knew what to look for.
And when I used bazaar (on Arch in 2004 trying to contribute to Exaile), it would pin a core and make no progress. I didn't look at it again.
