It probably would, except that most of those projects don't use Bazaar. There are no ways (AFAIK) to sync on a day-to-day basis 2 repositories maintained by 2 different VCSes. By contrast, there _are_ several potential solutions if you use a single dVCS. Git supports nested repositories (IIUC), and bzr has a couple of plugins to do something similar.
