What does it mean?

The issue I have with the web repository (I assume you meant git repo),
is that it requires for the maintainer of the repository to push a button,
accept new packages (at the very least). Which would mean that I offer
some kind of guarantees over the content of the software that you
download. Which maybe right now I can assume, but if there is as much
as patch in the repo as there is in guix I will need help...
