http://code.python.org/hg/ looks like a working mercurial mirror of
current CPython svn. It's probably nothing you'd like to switch to as
such since it doesn't replace svn usernames with names/e-mail addressed
(as I gather was planned), but it does get updated.

As one of those potential contributors that are new to the game and
actually know and love Mercurial, I've never actually checked out a
Python subversion branch, and have based the few patches I have written
on http://code.python.org/hg/branches/py3k/
