Sticking with a dvcs implemented in Python makes the best sense,  
especially when you consider the plugin architecture.  When we  
selected a new tracker, we didn't make implementation in Python a  
requirement, but instead a high hurdle.  Meaning, if a tracker wasn't  
written in Python it had to be way better than those written in Python.

As for dvcs, I think git would have to show overwhelming advantage  
over bzr or hg to be considered.
