Some are duplicated, others not. I expect any user who has MELPA to have ELPA as well, so duplication isn't necessary to reach everyone.
One difference is that by default, MELPA builds a package for every push to the master branch of your git repository, while ELPA requires an update to the version field of the package header.

It wouldn't matter much, I think; but since MELPA uses commit date as its version numbers, people who use both repos would by default get the newer builds from your git repository.

Well, publishing to MELPA doesn't really require any maintenance, as evidenced by 8 years and 50k downloads ^^

Thanks for your dedication and for developing emms.
