We recently had a long thread on moving to a different VCS and the rough consensus was to stay with SVN for a variety of reasons, including it being the choice that would make it most broadly easy to participate. Personally, I don't have a lot of mental energy to go through a long discussion again, so here's my bottom line: The VCS I currently use elsewhere are CVS, SVN, BZR, and Git. I'm not going to learn a new VCS for one Debian team, so if the team switches to Hg, it will do so without me. My personal preference would be SVN or BZR (also written in Python), but overall, I think SVN is still the best choice.
