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.
