I would STRONGLY recommend against using any site that requires a valid 
non-mailinator email address just to do basic things like post a bug report. 
I'm not sure exactly which ones are and aren't like that, but many free 
project hosting sites are like that and it's an absolutely inexcusable 
barrier.

And of course everyone knows how I'd feel about any site that required JS 
for anything that obviously didn't need JS. ;)

One other random thought: I'd really hate to use a system that didn't have 
short sequential changeset identifiers. I think Hg does have that, although 
I don't think all Hg interfaces actually use it, just some.
