Everyone on this list should know this is a bikeshed discussion.  
Someone should pick something - do the migration and announce it as done 
if possible.  Some people will be disgruntled for a while, workflows may 
change a bit and eventually everything settles down.

+1 git
---------------------
Why
     github (project visibility, easy to fork, pull requests, features.. 
almost all devs I know have github id and few have bitbucket)
     More people are familiar with and using git than hg at this point
     it's good enough
---------------------
(I think git has an illogical crap way of doing some things.  I never 
liked and still don't like git, but I've adjusted.)
