I think the goal is to create a common infrastructure, creating a Debian repository takes resources that some do not have. apt-get.org is great if you know about pinning and such but otherwise using it can really bork your system, mentors is a hosting service for packages which will be part of Debian, at some point. What is needed is a properly constructed archive, with some of the same procedures NEW, buildds etc. For packages such as qmail which are useful, but which for some reason can't be supported in Debian. I also see this as a way for NMs to show their stuff without the sometimes painfully slow sponsorship process.
