Why do I find it scary that the maintainer of a VCS is arguing that
less information is better?

So, you're being obtuse.  The notices deceive only those who deceive
themselves.  The rest say "thank you", hand the list from the file to
a non-technical secretary to get busy on making contacts and to check
the reputation of the maintainers for scrupulousness, and the code to
a technical person to start trying to track down repos and the like to
get a sufficiently complete list.
