It seems that both Dirkjan and Brett are very caught up with real life for the coming months. So I suggest that some other committer who favors the Mercurial transition steps forward and takes over this project.

I am not a committer, and am not intimately familiar with PEP 385, so not appropriate to become the proponent, I think. However, I am one of the PEP 374 co-authors, and have experience with previous transition to Mercurial of similar scale (XEmacs). I can promise to devote time to the transition in July and August, in support of whoever might step forward. I hope someone does.

If nobody volunteers, I propose that we release 3.2 from Subversion, and reconsider Mercurial migration next year.

In the absence of a volunteer, I think that's probably necessary.
