Scrollkeeper is below all of the GNOME libraries. It's more system-level
(in theory, useful for KDE, system documentation, and so on and so
forth). Currently not being used for its full potential, but that will
improve over time. There are also historical reasons -- and moving a
project is generally much more disruptive than leaving it on a widely
known site (think bugzillas, mailing lists, bookmarks to web pages, CVS
repositories, download locations, ...).

Debatable, but I've stopped caring. You do need to open up a gnome-hello
bugzilla component, though, so that bugs can be reported.
