I've done some research and I learned that the content of the Source Repositories page is generated by the maven project info reports plugin [1]. There is a HowTo on how to customize the static texts of the pages generated by the plugin [2]. I don't feel that it's necessary to do the customizing, because a lot of the other proper components use the same default config of the plugin. For the time I'm registered on the ML (which is quiet short, tbh) there has never been a request from users about broken SVN links as far as I can remember. But if you have the feeling that the information on our web sites is insufficient, feel free to change this for CSV and all the other components ;-) An alternative would be to raise an issue to change the default settings of the project info reports plugin.
