Honestly, I would more more inclined to contribute to SCons if it were developed using Git, and fully hosted on GitHub.
I think the GitHub model just works extremely well, and that's why so many projects are moving to it. Having an integrated issue tracker, releases tied to tags, and although I haven't used it, GitHub Pages is a perfect set of features for most Open Source projects. The integration with CI services (e.g. Travis) and other services (like CodeCov) is a cherry on top. There have been small bugs that I've gone to fix in SCons, but didn't feel like dealing with mercurial / BitBucket; not because they're bad, but because they're not what I'm familiar with. I suspect there are many others like me. Just my (unsolicited) $0.02.
