I think it depends on the project. Some projects are the author's personal tools that they've put online in the off-chance it will be useful to others, not projects they are really trying to promote.
I don't think we should expect that authors of repos go too out of their way in those cases as the alternative would just be not to publish them at all.
Totally agree
