Sure, I'd like to keep the old repo too. At least for a while.

We won't move the mailing list right away. But it is up for discussion.

I'd like to keep the downloads on sf.net too. The many mirror servers
are really great for handling the load of our releases.

nonono, we will keep tortoisesvn.net! That's the only place where we
have full control over the server and can write our own PHP pages to
generate e.g. the translation status.

Moving the repo to google code isn't about centralizing everything on
one place but to get a much better UI and a repo that's actually working
without too many interruptions.
