Drew sent an email yesterday to the mailing list in regards to this.  I
use his service, Sourcehut, and find it better than BitBucket.  I
switched to it awhile ago.  Amazing work and I think Drew's philosophy
makes it much cheaper to run a hosted service so I'm not to worried
about him pulling the plugin on hg support.
