In the bylaws, I see this under PMC responsibilities: * Maintaining the project's shared resources, including the codebase repository, mailing lists, websites.
This seems to indicate that the repo (i.e. svn or git) is managed by the PMC. Of the available PMC vote actions, the closest seems to be "Adoption of New Codebase": When the codebase for an existing, released product is to be replaced with an alternative codebase. If such a vote fails to gain approval, the existing code base will continue. This also covers the creation of new sub-projects within the project Lazy 2/3 majority of PMC members This would be my recommendation for the vote, but I'll defer to more experienced PMC members.
