The main problem is that Mercurial is not natively Git/Github compatible, in contrast with jj. And that even with hg-git, the UX is not that good, both in terms of memory (2 local repos) and overall in terms of incompatibility with modern Mercurial workflow involving topics, evolve and absorb. Getting modern Mercurial natively compatible with Git servers would be a game changer, even if it is only for the "simple" things without collaborative history edition (which is of course incompatible with a Git server). IMHO, it should become a priority if Mercurial wants to regain popularity and increase its user base.

For NetBSD use, I had to recently look at providing the reverse. 
Providing low-effort access for git users to a native Mercurial repo. 
Once I have time again, I'll look at providing some actual documentation 
for this bidirectional bridge.
