I am willing to take over this. I was in charge of the Mercurial
scenarios in the PEP, so it would be natural for me to continue with
the transition. In addition, I volunteer to maintain the new Mercurial
installation.

Off the top of my head, the following is needed for a successful migration:

   - Verify that the repository at http://code.python.org/hg/ is
properly converted.
   - Convert the current svn commit hooks to Mercurial.
   - Add Mercurial support to the issue tracker.
   - Update the developer FAQ.
   - Setup temporary svn mirrors for the main Mercurial repositories.
   - Augment code.python.org infrastructure to support the creation of
developer accounts.
   - Update the release.py script.

There is probably some other things that I missed, but I think this is
a good overview of what needs to be done. And of course, I would
welcome anyone who would be willing to help me with the transition.
