What we are really trying to do is engage the Emacs community to spend more time on Emacs rather than fighting version control. For many, the "path of least resistance" is to provide commits in a format they can most easily consume, rather than mandating that all use a single system to satisfy a political goal which may or may not concern them. In the end, I think increasing the pool of Emacs developers, the speed of Emacs development, the amount of testing and bug fixing that gets done, will serve the FSF's overall agenda more than trying to garner public support for Bazaar through a single project.
