You can convince people just by doing a thing and they see it works... Showing vs telling
Proposals skew towards telling. The BIP repo, correctly or incorrectly, is equated with Core as the default distribution
If telling the default distribution fails, thats perceived as a filter ... Committee building... which kills potential early or legitimizes bad things.
These types of things exists because people are over socialized, deferential, lack confidence, etc, the natural course of weak men creating hard times.
What if the NSA decided not to build Bitcoin after the negative responses to the paper on the mailing lists?

You can try to convince people of something whether or not the something is located in one single place or in many places.
The real test of not having a single BIP repo would be some kind of soft fork BIP, as I imagine that would be very tricky to coordinate without a single source.
But I don't think it is true that single source for each BIP has to equal same source for a BIPs.
