I've been thinking about something similar, though a bit more general than
SoC -> a "labs.gnome.org" incubator for new projects and developers. Maybe
trying this out practically for SoC would be useful. Infrastructurally, this
need not have a huge cost at all, though I would like to have a separate
machine for labs.gnome.org (to separate shell and svn logins for incubating
projects and developers).

Happy to put some time into this for SoC.
