Good point Markus. I have been wondering about new development, and migration 
to SVN- looks like they are connected.

I vote +1 (?) for moving to SVN as hosted by OSGeo.org. After spending some 
time with Trac on my own projects I have really come to like it. Furthermore, 
integration with the rest of OSGeo would be a good thing. Having the source 
code next to projects like GDAL, Mapserver, etc. might even entice some new 
developers into the GRASS community.
