No technical reason at least.
It's historically hosted at intevation.de.
Now, in the light of the new foundation there will probably be
the option/request to move code management to a centralized
foundation infrastructure.
Of course an agreement on which bug tracking system to use is
pending. This will be discussed in the near future.

Good point.
I have to check with the foundation ideas - we don't want too many
changes in case the GRASS community intends to use the foundation
infrastructure (once provided).
However, I suggest to move the user list to grass.itc.it as soon as
possible.

Maybe Intevation could implement this into the existing RT?

Yes, understood now. This sounds reasonable to me.
