There are lots of other good reasons too.

It might be an interesting exercise to think about how one would
design a project host with arch in mind in the first place, rather
than how one would retrofit it into savannah.
For example, with arch, you'd probably want a different approach to
bug tracking. You'd want a different approach to browsing. In
addition to hosting a project's main archive, you'd want to think
about both archive cycling and mirroring the archives of
contributors. You'd want to think about public key management.
You might want to provide a notifications service. Perhaps a patch
queue manager.
If one wanted to make a really cool environment for project hosting
with arch, I'm not sure what parts of the existing savannah
infrastructure, if any, would be really helpful.
