I think that is doubtful. Most people do not care what VCS GNOME uses.
For those who care, and like DVCS, their opinions are probably
something like this:

svn 10 points
git 100 +/- 5 points
hg 100 +/- 5 points
bzr 100 +/- 5 points

That is, it doesn't really matter what DVCS GNOME uses. They are all
great systems, all superior to svn. There _may_ be people who have
their favorite DVCS and would be deeply unhappy if their alternative
didn't win, but I think they are in a very (very) small minority, if
they even exists. I think keeping the GNOME developer environment
coherent is much more important than appeasing to individuals
preferences.

Just have a vote about it. Voting is fun, encourages participation and
involvement, so make as many people eligible as possible.
