I want contributed Org libraries to be maintained in a separate Git
repository the same what the GNU ELPA packages are maintained in their
own repository, outside Emacs.
> You keep talking about an Org ELPA that doesn't exist
AFAICT Org ELPA does exist:
http://orgmode.org/elpa.html
http://orgmode.org/elpa/archive-contents
http://orgmode.org/elpa/
What I'm missing?

The main advantages I see:
1. it would clarify the representation of Org's ecosystem for the
users;
2. it would make it easier to discover Org contributed packages by
using the Emacs packaging system facilities;
2. this way we won't need to give write access to Org's core for
contributors who only maintain a contributed package.
The first two points are the most important, since we never had
problems with contributors.
M-x list-packages RET is the way users expect to find packages.
A new Org exporter should be listed there, not in within some
obscure "org-plus-contrib" package, and not from a directory.

I want this this to be a separate Git repo the same way GNU ELPA is a
separate git repo from Emacs (that's the "what"); because it is better
in terms of discoverability (M-x list-packages RET); and this is better
because it reuses what users have learned to use recently.

If that's a blocker, we can move forward only removing the contrib/
directory, not the Git history. I'm fine with this, and that's much
easier.
I feel like I won't convince you and this is not my decision, so
I'll stop advocating for this to happen, I just hope it will.
