Who do I need to contact to get access permission on
svn.perl.org so I can add the 'threads' and

I recommend using Google Code hosting at code.google.com

project. Both of those require human intervention if you
host it on svn.perl.org.
For my own modules, I might consider it, but for core
modules, I feel they should go somewhere more 'official'.
The contact information Tim sent is right. As Andy says we are
encouraging people to look at code.google.com.
As for "modules getting stuck/lost there" if the author goes away: The
people at Google working on Google Code are friendly and helpful, I am
sure we'll be able to sort that out even if Robert didn't work there and
had "internal access" too.
That being said, we are happy to host things on svn.perl.org too, in
particular core modules - partly for some of the reasons you list. Just
know that the "UI" for setting up access stuff is sending emails to RT.
We have plans to make something better for that, but we made them when
Sourceforge was "state of the art". Since the advent of Google Code
it's fallen back on the priority list.
