I think there is a rationale for something like that: some packages have broken home pages that give a poor idea of the package itself and the GNU project in general, and their maintainers are unreachable. If nobody else has permission to commit to the package web repos, (1) those pages will never get fixed; (2) the number of broken pages will increase every time the layout of gnu.org is modified, because it is nearly impossible to take all the special cases into account in the global stylesheets; (3) there will be no serious attempt at improving the layout. Compare with what happens to unmaintained translations in the main part of gnu.org: any webmaster or translation coordinator can update the links, even if they can't read the script (this is isn't done often enough, I know).
