To me that seems a sensible feature request (but I am just one user).

Note though that there is some similarity with another existing feature request:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2662 - authz with wildcards

But that is about wildcards in the path portion, while yours is about
wildcards in the repository part. If you create your issue, you may
wish to link it to 2662 though.

Just my €0.02
