I hear you. Probably not for a while though. I've had difficulties with git I haven't encountered with Mercurial (and I'm not saying this from just surface usage, I know it fairly well, its strengths and limitations and to discuss those issues would require talking about a lot of stuff most people don't care about. I used to support other devs' usage of git, encountered so many problems in comparison with hg, so it's much more than "I don't like it"). Mercurial has been much more robust over the years, and despite github's popularity, I have heard many times from people who work closely on scaling these things that they have a similar experience as mine. That being said, input taken, never say never... I can see github's popularity. Note that I haven't handled tickets/PRs in a while, mainly because I'm focused on the boring parts of getting to a release, like finishing the docs. Once the release is done I want to spend a bit more time processing tickets and PRs and also some low-hanging fruit.
