The bitbucket page linked above points to the Mercurial wiki page https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MercurialHosting which list a number of free and paying services which are or were offering Mercurial hosting support. Bitbucked is already listed there among those who were. Among free ones who still are, some are restricted to some software families not including Vim; others, including SourceForge, are more general. If you're going to remain responsible for the Vim Mercurial mirror, I think you should have the choice of which particular service to use.
