With respect to hg-git, all 3 pull requests at
https://bitbucket.org/durin42/hg-git/pull-requests/ are fixes for the
4.7 breakage. https://bitbucket.org/durin42/hg-git/pull-requests/61
appears to be the most popular. (I'm running with my own fix; I
discovered the existing PRs when I went to submit my change. I think
all 3 of them are better than mine!)

Is hg-git looking for a maintainer? It seems quite popular. I love it.
But I don't know what the story is behind its maintainership.
