Mercurial update (2)

[Mark Reinhold]

The infrastructure bits are coming together nicely and should be ready
to go live with support for pushes into the Mercurial repositories by
the middle of next week, right after FOSDEM.

(The code will most likely be ready before FOSDEM, but I know better
 than to deploy a brand-new distributed system for the first time and
 then jump on a plane.)

In the meantime I've asked the Moderators of the initial Groups to take
a census of their Members so that the core database can be seeded [1].

The census will be complete by mid-March.  I expect most results to come
in much earlier, however, since people are anxious to start pushing their
backlogged changes into the repositories.

When the census is complete we'll be able to say exactly who the Members
of each Group are, and after that point all new Members, regardless of
their employer, will have to be voted in [2].
