I believe RSA keys are generally recommended for SSH work.  You could add it to 
the developer's guide.  Another tip that may not be documented: to improve 
transfer speed, enable compression at the ssh level for the hg.python.org 
connection.  If you are using a Unix-y .ssh/config file, you can add it there 
to the host entry for hg.python.org.
