It's worth bearing in mind that this is only applies for redistribution. Unless you redistribute you have no requirement to comply with these terms of the GPL. This means for applications or scripts meant for internal or personal use GPL-licensed libraries aren't a problem. Some Lua developers may also be writing applications they intend to release under the GPL, where again the license would not bother them and the convenience of installing through luarocks would be useful. I do quite like the idea of printing the license name upon install, even if most developers would have checked the website to evaluate a module (and presumable note the license there) before installing.
