(Afaic?)

Please, don't require SVN.  It adds considerable size over CVS without 
solving the essential 'single point of failure' problem.  I thought the 
plan was to move to Git, which is young, but does solve that problem.
Some of the other distributed SCMs are also good.

Either way, generating tarballs and diffs are vital.  At Savannah, one 
can do this from the web interface, and it's a function worth keeping.

RT would be the other big one IMO, but I've seen lots of groups struggle 
to configure it.
