You can find instructions for submitting patches on the TortoiseHg wiki
http://tortoisehg.wiki.sourceforge.net/Submitting+Patches
A list of official repositories:

Yes, it is possible. I have done so myself a number of times. Unfortunately
the process is not described anywhere.
The trick is to copy stuff from "%ProgramFiles%\TortoiseHg" to your dist
directory before you run the Inno Setup compiler to build the installer.
I feel that the build process should be automated, so I have created a patch
queue on Bitbucket with a small experiment in this direction. The goal is
that "python setup.py bdist_wininst" will do all the stuff you have to do
manually today: Checking dependencies, possibly downloading and installing
them, and building the installer.
Since I'm a hobbycoder with respect to tortoisehg I typically put 2-4 hours
of work into it every month. This is a very slow development pace. You are
welcome to grab the pieces from my experiment and push it further.
