Certainly: it's administrator load, which in turn is volunteer time.

Of course, so if there is a volunteer, to actually set it up, it should
be done. For the PEP itself, somebody would have to contribute precise
instructions how to setup websvn (what URLs, how does the Apache
configuration read, etc).

There are security issues in the setup if you want to have non-public
repositories (which then shouldn't be public through websvn, either).
The pydotorg repository itself is non-public, but I don't know whether
this would be an issue.
