Why do you insist on mentioning Magit? Its interface is modeled on git's
characteristic features (index, remotes, etc) Adapting it for hg would
require a huge rewrite. You'll better write your own package from
scratch.

Do you have Magit-envy? ;-)

So you can somehow emulate a poor-man's git stage with hg. Good. But why
should hg users interested on that? Do they have git-envy too?
