For 1.6 we can use the subversion.tigris.org repository (to which blessed tarballs are eventually committed). It's not configured for CIA though. For 1.7+ we can could use either https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ or a subtree of https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/. Both of them are (or can be) tied to CIA and mailer hooks. According to pquerna, the 'dev' area of the dist/ repository is an appropriate place to collect votes for not-yet-blessed releases. The dist/ repository is also tied to the ASF's mirroring system via svnpubsub: the master distribution directories are svnpubsub slaves of that repository.
