I see that Atlassian have just taken over BitBucket, the Mercurial hosting company. IIRC Atlassian offered to host our issue tracking on JIRA, but in the end we decided to eat our own dog food and went with roundup. I'm wondering if they'd be similarly interested in supporting our Hg server. Or is self-hosting the only acceptable solution? From recent mail it looks likes we may be up and running on Hg fairly soon. I know of two medium sized projects (smaller than CPython) that are switching away from BitBucket's free services because of their poor reliability.

Me too, but I am pretty sure the reliability is going to drastically change in the upcoming months. If Atlassian took over this probably means Bitbucket will have more people to work on the project and some help from the Atlassian Ops. That's really a good news !

Although, I am also -1 because of the hooks management issues that were raised
