Work in progress. :-)

I plan to upload 4.2 RC1 (or so) to Debian unstable soon.

Next step would be to move over the website and mailing list to my
hosting so the website will be uptodate again. (We can't easily move
the website without the mailing list otherwise this would have been
done already.)

Steve: I'm still pondering if I should move over the ML to my Mailman
installation or install skxlist on my server. Any comment from the
skxlist author? :-)

Sounds as we should merge them into the official repository. :-)

Do you mean a repository with commit access for more than one person?
Yeah, that would be definitely a good thing.

Anyone has experience with http://bitbucket.org/ or
http://sharesource.org/? (FreeHg.org seems to have died already
again.) Or anyones know any other hosting service else like github.com
or repo.or.cz just for Mercurial? SourceForge seems to offer Mercurial
hosting[1], too, but I'm no such big fan of SF. Its website feels
clumsy to me and the recent website redesign didn't help at all...

  [1] http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Mercurial

Or shall we move over to git? In that case I would prefer repo.or.cz
as central repository since I have only good experiences there yet
from another project. But if more than one person favours github.com
over repo.or.cz, I would also use that one.

Would be happy to have that included in the VCS repository, too.
