Why dfmt, dcd, dscanner, ... are not bundled together?

There's also the hope that one day SDC or dmd-fe can be used for 
plugin development as libdparse and its tools are inherently 
quite limited due to a missing semantic analysis phase.
Furthermore it's also a bit political e.g.

https://github.com/dlang-community/dfmt/issues/249

However, since a couple of days these tools have been moved to a 
community-maintained organization:

http://forum.dlang.org/post/abbprxuwgqlmuuwdfgmg@forum.dlang.org

This means that development in this area is a lot easier.
A couple of ideas:

1) Now that DMD can be packaged for distro, these tools could be 
put into the main distro (Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora/CentOS, openSUSE, 
...) as well [1]
2) An bundled release could be automatically created on every 
commit to these repos [2]

I also opened these topics on dlang-community/discussions:
