Why not?

the project could not have a public repository, there are projects
that only distribute binary/source jars without having an accessible
scm at all.

Can you give me an example of an OSS project submitting something to the central repository that doesn't have a public repository? How can you operate as an OSS project without a public repository?

Here's a concrete example an artifact that is available in the repository. It is closed source in the sense that there is no public SCM available, but license-wise it's OK to redistribute it:

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/intellij/openapi/5.0/

It doesn't make sense that repository:bundle-create require it to
work, also because it's not really useful for users

It's definitely useful for users to have the location of the source repository. Especially from IDEs if you grab a remote POM and want to create a project.

(on the other hand
license info was not mandatory, and that's something that can always
be filled and that is definitively useful).

The license file was, but the element being specified is better. Some form of license information was mandatory.

I'm -1 to letting people submit without that information. Your justification is unsatisfactory as is.

Jason.
