re: Workflow orchestration and Subversion

I'm not actively doing this, but I see moving towards it. The general
process that I envision would be that a developer commits their code as
normal and then branches/tags their code in a given location (e.g.
/branches/Unstable). That would trigger an email to code reviewers,
testers,etc. After evaluating the code the reviewer would tag the folder
with an attribute (confirmed via a hook that the user has authority), that
would trigger promotion to a new environment via svn export or to a new
branch (e.g. branches/Stable).

The hooks would really depend on your needs, but I don't see any reason why
you couldn't handle parallel and serial workflow scenarios given the tools
that are available (on any platform).
