The only issue is that Savannah is static hosting. We have a bit of PHP that generates one page. We might be able to replace that with Jekyll, though.

Does it do so from dynamic server-side data, or could you run it on each new commit and serve the result as a static page?
Yeah, we can probably do some sort of commit hook. It's not an impossible problem, just annoying.
I'm not interested in getting into an argument, but I'm genuinely curious what reasons remain for people preferring mercurial. At the moment, apart from "got used to the UI", the main one I know of is more "native" Windows support (without needing a Cygwin-like environment to work in). I don't know if that's an issue for your project.

Fair enough. In terms of repository hosting, moving to Savannah seems like the obvious choice there then. And assuming you have people available to do the work, you could always move to gnu.org or nongnu.org, depending on your tastes and the nature of the software your directory links to.
