I agree.
One needs to put themselves in the developers shoes. If you spend so
much of your time creating, updating, bug fixing amd responding to user
queries for a project that is very close to you, having it copied and
misrepresented on a 3rd party site can blow the enthusiasm right out
from under you.
The repository should be for old, unavailable and no longer supported
software.
I would recommend a page with links of *other active software projects*
on the repository for people to be steered in the direction of that
active developers site.
