You wrote: "So for me personally there is no incentive to use HG anymore". Why do you want to use it if there is no incentive for you personally to use it?

Also as I wrote before: Bitbucket still allows HG repositories. So GitHub is not the only platform for open source hacking, and it is not very probable that it ever will be.

I think you are better off just using Git if you absolutely want to use GitHub, because it is highly probable that HG in combination with hg-git will always be a crutch compared to the tool the service is built upon. Attempts to overcome this by means of making HG more like Git - either by making hg-git a default extension or by changing Mercurial's inner working - are a waste of time IMHO. Both for developers AND users.

Yeah, I know Git is a PITA to use, but I guess this is the price you have to pay for using GitHub.
