Naturally, it's up to whoever manually curates the index to ensure the
package follows the guidelines for that archive. For the FSF archive(s)
it would mean ensuring copyright assignment is in place; for folks who
want to maintain their own archives it would probably be something
simpler like making sure it's licensed as free software.
