The same reason(s) for CC mode, Gnus, Org, Tramp, etc.

Some reasons I imagine are:

* It can leave bleeding edge features on its own repo (not necessary in
  the next Emacs release)
* It can have its own bug tracker (if its authors don't like Debbugs)
* It can include code not distributed with Emacs for some reasons (for
  example, a new author doesn't want to sign or haven't signed the
  copyright assignment yet)
* It can use a VCS Emacs is not using (for example, Gnus and Org was
  using Git before the Emacs Git transition)
* It can include compatibility helpers for XEmacs and other emacsen

Both are OK, I think.  IIRC the SourceForge repo merges changes from
Emacs master from time to time.
