Wow, that rules.  I have some patches that I wrote for
rockclimbing.com's dbmail installation that might be useful for
other sites that run eg. phpBB within MySQL, have a large userbase,
and want to offer DBmail service (also a PHP class that manages
accounts, though not as beautifully as DBMA).  Also, if you have any
desire for a replicated backup repository, let me know; I've set up
several for various projects, and would be happy to rsync yours over
and run in the incremental dumps to provide a hot backup.  

One thing that's been useful in our experience is having a Nagios
monitor with a very long timeout (30 minutes) babysitting the SVN
repository.  If the repository wedges, Nagios shuts down the Apache
instance that runs Subversion, runs svnadmin recover, and starts
Apache back up.  This is a big improvement over manual babysitting.
