Maybe mention that it is "users" list and mention the
mailing lists landing page rather than the e-mail address:

  to the clipboard using Ctrl-C) to the Subversion users@ mailing list
  See http://subversion.apache.org/mailing-lists.html.

A user better have to subscribe to the list. Otherwise it just adds
work for the moderators to pass her mail through.

There already is activity log that is available via Settings -> Saved
Data -> Action Log -> click Show,
but it mentions only network-related operations such as commit or
update. I think it is better to let users write what they were doing
now and before.

There might be some additional explanation at mailing-lists.html,
or maybe have some other landing page specifically for this message.
