I'm not sure whether it has been explicitly announced, but apparently
Alioth services not covered by gitlab (in particular svn and mailing
lists, i.e. this one) will need somebody to step up to maintain them.
This implies that they will be shut down if nobody does.

I asked in #debian-devel about this the other day:

17:45 <azeem_> so will svn.debian.org be switched off when we migrate
	to gitlab, or is this going to be maintained distinct from
	alioth going forward?
17:48 <olasd> ttbomk nobody volunteered to run a svn hosting service
