I am not a committer, and am not intimately familiar with PEP 385, so
not appropriate to become the proponent, I think.  However, I am one
of the PEP 374 co-authors, and have experience with previous
transition to Mercurial of similar scale (XEmacs).  I can promise to
devote time to the transition in July and August, in support of
whoever might step forward.  I hope someone does.

In the absence of a volunteer, I think that's probably necessary.
