Scanning sys.path for mach modules is neat and all. But, we agreed when it was implemented that it isn't ideal. Since then (bug 794509), we've established the convention of creating mach_commands.py files around the tree and referencing them explicitly in the main mach driver (./mach). This way, the mach driver has complete control over what gets loaded. I think this is more practical than having automagical side-effects.

The attached patch removes sys.path scanning. But, it does preserve the ability to scan directories. The mach commands in python/mozbuild have been moved to a mach_commands.py file.
