I've already let my Mercurial buildbot configuration run for a few checkins
while testing it; a separate changesource was not needed.
The commit email hook also has been tested extensively by its usage for the
distutils2 repo, which are also sent to python-checkins.
That said, it will of course be nice to activate both for the test repo
as well, once it's available.
