I too think that switching to git would help get changes/fixes in faster and
easier.
HG is not that different from Git but having to install and configure another
DVCS is a cognitive load that would be nice to not have to deal with.

So it sounds like (from limited consensus), that switching to Git now, would
remove a significant barrier to contributing code/fixes?

I have to agree. Whilst I am really interested in helping with the python 3
port the hg hurdle has just meant I haven’t found the time. I have too many
other things pulling at me that I can do easily with my git workflow.
