I do not think that it is a good idea:

1. I am not sure how org-contrib to org-orphanage will affect ELPA
   package
2. Adding packages to org-contrib may surprise users who install
   org-contrib.
3. Most importantly, some packages have multiple files and provide a
   separate *-pkg.el file. Adding them to org-contrib will require extra
   work to make things installable.
4. How will we continue distributing the orphan packages on ELPA from
   the new source?   

I guess we may work around the above issues using git sub-modules, but I
am not sure if it is going to be easier compared to separate package
list.
