There is a well used "MercurialHub", it's called BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/

It supports Git now as well, but it was only for Mercurial use when it started.

I could have sworn bitbucket was an SVN host to start with, then patched in mercurial support and then git support later.

Bitbucket never supported svn (and still doesn't), it was created with django + uses the pure python mercurial (It was one of the major "posterchild" stories for django).

Not sure if it's still django though.

You might be thinking of http://beanstalkapp.com/ which supports svn.

Just re-read the original announcement, it was definitely a mercurial only hosting.
