A change of maintainership for Mercurial

Is it a decline? I'm often surprised how many people use hg (our corp has it everywhere and we have to use it) and even like it. It certainly doesn't look like there is a decline going on.

(Personally, I'd probably like to see hg decline, I have to use it a lot and never managed to see anything else than a bad git implementation in it. I mean, it works and it's a nice piece of software that is fine for the purpose and I'd probably pick it if git didn't exist, but it offers nothing extra compared to git, except for relative slowness, issues, python dependencies and more restricted workflow...)
