One advantage of distlib being on bitbucket is that anyone can fork it and create pull requests. I've been doing that recently on a number of projects, and it's a very efficient workflow. I don't know how the workflow would go if hg.python.org was used, but I'd be much less likely to contribute code if I had to create a patch, submit it via the tracker, and manually maintain it in a local copy of the code until it gets accepted. Maybe it's possible to integrate hg.python.org with bitbucket - I see bitbucket allows you to create a repo by forking an externally hosted Mercurial repository, but I've never tried it, and I don't know if pull requests would work.
