For your information, contributors to Sweet Home 3D are mainly translators, 3D model designers and people helping other users in this forum or with documents they share. These people are rarely aware of how a repository works, and I take care to integrate their contributions obtained through other easier means (mails or SourceForge tickets).
There are also a few programmers who proposed some plug-ins and until now, this seems to have been a good way to learn Sweet Home 3D architecture and integrate additional features, without taking the risk to deteriorate its quality.
Beside that, I'm the only developer of Sweet Home 3D application, which makes me wonder how useful it will be to take care of another repository system.
In the past, I spent some time to help some developers who wanted to contribute directly to Sweet Home 3D (see thread #3067 and thread #3113), but this gave no result... Not very encouraging even if I can understand your arguments
