is the intention simply to be able to provide a link to the exact version
of the code you are writing about? or is it to retain personal control
during the development phase?

if you simply need to be able to provide a link to the exact version you
are writing about that's easy, just add "?p=" to the end of the websvn URL
or "?rev=" to the end of the trac URL. e.g.:

https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-addons/grass6/raster/r.fuzzy/?p=50005
 or
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/grass6/raster/r.fuzzy?rev=50005


if you want to delay releasing under the GPL until you have your article
published, then you would have to wait to put it in the grass addons repo
too, which is open to GPL-compatible code only. (as per rfc2)
