I don't think we have to ask them to do anything special, as long as they can submit their contributions under the form of a patch. Whether they use named branches, separate clones, mercurial queues, the pbranch extension, or even the basic hg-as-an-svn-synonym workflow you suggested should be none of our business, IMO. A DVCS allows non-committers to manage (augment, fix, synchronize) their patches more easily until they get committed. I don't think it will change the committers' work a lot, though. I don't know how Mercurial could make the task of committing an outsider's patch significantly simpler.
