Nope.

A FOSS DVCS (distributed version control system) like Git, Mercurial or 
Bazaar is by far a better choice than SVN as you have the complete history 
available and checkins & branches are easily done without requiring access 
to a remote server.

Changes can easily be made available as emailed patches, pushed into 
server repo (when you have access) or the maintainer can pull them from 
the developers public repo (if existing).

If you want to get into the stuff, check out this comprehensive screencast 
<http://gitcasts.com/posts/railsconf-git-talk> by Scott Chacon.

There is also some interesting talk of Randal Schwartz (one of the 
Perl guru's) at <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dhZ9BXQgc4>

Guido
