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
instead. Setup is trivial, as is adding people to the
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'.
Jerry: When we revived the Phalanx Phoenix project in NYC, I had
exactly the same questions as you -- and logically so, because we used
svn.perl.org in the first phase of Phalanx in 2004-05.
But Andy and Robert Spier persuaded me to look at Google Code, and
that's where we went. It takes the burden of playing 'svnadmin' off
both you and qw{Ask Robert}.
And, of course, for non-core modules, *all* repositories are unofficial,
because we don't mandate development through a single repository. Our
only real repository is CPAN.
