I am almost sure that when I joined the project contrib was also the
place for sub-standard packages.
While my memory could be faulty in some way since that was 20 years ago,
I know that my first package was first uploaded to contrib because of
technical reasons.

I vaguely remember that may have been true, but I also vaguely remember that there was a conscious decision that it was silly to distribute sub-standard packages...
