Because Subversion is fairly popular, but mercurial and git have 
svn interfaces.  Thus the Django community seems to be "core 
Django development is in Subversion, but interface with whatever 
works for you, whether that's SVN, git, mercurial, bazaar, darcs, 
or even telnet".  :)

I can't speak to using git (I tried it in the early days, but its 
documentation was wanting, and it had a duct-tape-and-baling-wire 
feel to it.  It seems to be much better now from what I hear), 
but Mercurial's (and Bazaar's) command-line interface is nearly 
identical to Subversion's with just a few bonus functionalities 
for dealing with distributed aspects.  I also find 
branching/merging less painful in distributed VCSes...last I 
checked, merge-tracking in Subversion is a nascent feature (I 
think it just landed in the latest 1.5 release) so I hope it's 
stable & great.  But it's been in DVCSes for ages.  Lastly DVCSes 
*can* be used in a centralized manner.  So you can guess my 
verdict is to use the DVCS that fits you -- for me that's bazaar 
or mercurial (though I should revisit git as well to see how it's 
progressed) which I use even for personal projects.  And I think 
for a project like Django, Subversion is an excellent "lingua 
franca" of version control that all the others speak.
