I think they should just be separate repositories. The svn.python.org
"repository" is more like a collection of actual repositories than a
repository in itself.

I'd say migrating to Python's svn doesn't make a whole lot of sense at
this point, but I'll leave that to Martin (since he has to do the
work). For the conversion, I can just as well take the Jython repo
from your current server. I've started a svnsync job with your repo so
I can run some test conversions. It's a relatively small repository,
so it shouldn't be much of a problem.
