mercurial_keyring is a Python package[1]. You install it with something like:

pip install mercurial_keyring

Then you activate it like so:

[extensions]
mercurial_keyring =

The rest of the extension's configuration happens in the auth section:

[auth]
myremote.schemes = http https
myremote.prefix = hg.example.com/repo
myremote.username = alice

So users of mercurial_keyring would just have to uninstall the Python package
and exchange mercurial_keyring with hgkeyring in their extensions section.

IMO it's better to have a different name so users can easily understand which
extension they are using.

If a user would have both, mercurial_keyring and a mercurial version with the
bundled extension it would depend on the import order which extension would be
used. The new name prevents that.
