No, he's right. Try it yourself. Pypy seems to speed up tight looping,
but those tight loops are already sped up in hg by being rewritten in
C. At least I think that's why pypy does not give better hg
performance.

Well... it is pretty creative to submit a github pull request for
Mercurial. It's like wearing a Microsoft teeshirt at an Apple
conference. I laughed a lot when I saw it, as at least you gave me a
good chuckle. At least it wasn't a pull request to replace all of hg's
source code with git's source code. :-)

At any rate, the contributor guidelines are here:

For what it's worth, git also uses an email-based code review system,
and github pull requests will also be ignored and perhaps mocked. I
believe both systems are styled after Linux development, which is in
turn styled after other old-fashioned development flows.
