I think this will not be really good having some users in LDAP in some local, maybe creating semi-automatic accounts with no permissions in SVN for the contributors will be the best with the semi-automatic accounts I mean, filling a form and the sysadmins having just to accept the account > Maybe this is a good chance to talk a bit about TurboGears.
