I believe the wanna-build admins don't want builds that have neither been suitably tested (such as the build that accompanies the source in the maintainer's upload) nor built by one of the official buildds to be uploaded. The main reason, AIUI, is that such builds tend to result in a higher proportion of broken packages, partly because the people doing such builds tend to be less up on problems in the tool chain for the arch. That said, I don't believe I've seen a public, first-hand statement to that effect. I think such a statement would be very useful to clear up the confusion on the subject.
