The plan is to extend the PEP in the future collecting information about equivalence of Mercurial and git scenarios to help migrating Python development from Mercurial to git.

I couldn't find any previous discussion about this, but I figure I should mention:

If the motivation here is to get away from the often-awful bitbucket to the friendlier and more-popular Github, then it might be useful to know that hg-git works beautifully with Github. I have over a dozen open source projects on Github that I manage entirely using hg command lines without having yet touched git at all. Even the forks and pull requests I've done of others' projects on Github worked just fine, so long as I remember to use hg bookmarks instead of hg branches.

It's possible there are things you can't do with Mercurial on Github, but I haven't encountered one thus far.
