I couldn't find any previous discussion about this, but I figure I
should mention:

If the motivation here is to get away from the often-awful bitbucket
to the friendlier and more-popular Github, then it might be useful to
know that hg-git works beautifully with Github.  I have over a dozen
open source projects on Github that I manage entirely using hg command
lines without having yet touched git at all.  Even the forks and pull
requests I've done of others' projects on Github worked just fine, so
long as I remember to use hg bookmarks instead of hg branches.

It's possible there are things you can't do with Mercurial on Github,
but I haven't encountered one thus far.
