I'm not sure the information you have are correct.

For example ocs is already being maintained in an external 
repository (which is synchronized to forge only at time of release) 
so I would say it would fit the "external" group.

On the other hand, the website states that also "community" packages 
can be maintained in a separate repository, so maybe it's me who really
don't get the difference?

Is the main difference that should guide my choice whether I would like
"administrators" to push changes "even without asking before"?

If I would prefer to get a pull request or a patch submitted to the tracker
for me to evaluate before pushing does this mean that the packages above
should be considered "external"?
