Yeah, DVCS makes perfect sense for loosely organized OSS projects.
Last time I asked Tom Copeland (RubyForge admin) about git support, he
said he was trying to make it happen. There was also some mention of
ample spare time in his response, iirc :)

We had a conversation along similar line on some internal maillist in
ThoughtWorks. Public opinion there seemed to lean towards Mercurial.
Supposedly, it has more streamlined command-line interface, and is
better documented. Plus there is a decent Windows support. Not that
Git is too hard to learn, but this seemed to be the most meaningful
difference anyone could come up with. Plus Windows support, of course.
