For what it's worth, Mike Bayer successfully migrated SQLAlchemy from 
svn to hg and then to git. He now has an amazing system set up whereby 
commits can be made by contributors through either GitHub or BitBucket, 
I thought he still had Trac rigged up on sqlalchemy.org, but looks like 
the issue tracker has migrated to bitbucket...

I believe his reasons for moving are similar to those I've read in 
Guido's posts.

I believe he also has notes on what he did and how things are set up...
