Perhaps, though within Mercurial the word 'import' usually carries the
semantics of adding into an existing repository (import/qimport
commands), while here a whole new repository may be created during the
process (incremental additions can be ignored for the sake of this
headline).
"turn a foreign or native VCS repository into a Mercurial one"?
Not happy about that either, but perhaps throwing thoughts will get
us somewhere eventually. :)
"create a repository from another one (foreign VCS or native)"?

It is GPL, so I guess people could spawn their own. Whether that
happens, no idea.
