Several reasons: - Would one submit a patch to each package's maintainer for that package? Perhaps the Arch project decides it's not worth the effort to change all the URLs in one go, resulting in a lot of unnecessary e-mail spam from my side. - If the changes were submitted as one huge patch, who would review and apply them? Furthermore, it's a trivial change that can be automated, making sure the patches are correct is at least as much effort as simply doing the changes themselves. - Simple and plain laziness. I'd rather have somebody more involved in the project figure out the details.
