I think that's an excellent idea, for both technical and social reasons!

(It's worth noting, though, that the Mercurial developers have, for the 
past couple of years, been incrementally and _very_ carefully replacing 
performance-critical Python components with Rust equivalents 
<https://www.mercurial-scm.org/help/topics/rust>.  The words 
‘incremental’ and ‘careful’ are pretty much hallmarks of 
Mercurial's development history.)

Best wishes,

Norman
