This sounds like a marketing/advertising question. :-) It seems to me that what it boils down to is a question of whether or not you have the spare change to maintain another domain. Setting up additional DNS entries is generally extremely easy (depends on the DNS software), but then you might have additional things to worry about (e.g. virtual host domains). Will the .com bring additional interest in Fossil? Will it assist people who are looking for DVCS? It isn't likely that people are going to type fossil-scm and accidently put .com on the end (how did they know to type fossil-scm in the first place?). If you do get it, it probably isn't necessary to make all current features found on fossil-scm.org work with fossil-scm.com. For example, I see no reason to make the mailing list understand it. Not sure if this response is helpful.
