One obvious benefit that is worth mentioning in the JEP I think is that
Git is significantly more popular than Mercurial, and using what becomes
a standard tool lowers the barrier of entry for new contributors. A mere
read-only Git mirror doesn't help unifying the community around a common
set of tools and workflows.
