I would be interested in reviewing patches that add some sort of multi-backend support to our authz system. This problem comes up quite often especially among enterprise users of Subversion. Some would prefer to store authz rules directly in databases like LDAP, for example. A multi-backend mechanism for authz, of which the plaintext file is one possible backend, would certainly make sense.
