+10 for continuing to support svn+ssh, it's the best thing ever!
* secure (passphrase-protected key)
* convenient (ssh-agent means you only type the passphrase once)
* convenient to use remotely (ssh agent forwarding means I ssh into
a remote server and can use svn without having to store a key or a
password anywhere on that remote server)
The story may be different for Windows users (as usual).
+0.5 for alternatively accepting authenticated https access (I'm not the
admin, so it doesn't cost me, but I'm also not going to use it)
BTW I've yet to see a firewall that blocks SSH. Am I lucky?

+1 for having trac as a subversion browser.
In fact, see http://zope3.pov.lt/trac
The svn repository mirror used by that trac instance is updated with
svnsync every 5 minutes.

I would not mind spending some time in a sprint writing a Zope 3 svn key
management web app, but that's only a small part of the solution.
Authentication and deployment are the other---bigger--two parts.
