MarketPlace was done to fulfill this goal and it works pretty well. Some
non Eclipse.org project have been pretty successful thanks to
MarketPlace and MarketPlace client. I think those should thank the
Foundation for that.

The issue with the multiplication of projects out of Eclipse.org is that
you end up with different process to contribute and don't have the
guarantee a contribution would be appreciated and considered. Being on
GitHub is not a proof of an open development process, it's "just" OSS
code. That's why it makes sense for contributors/consumers (like us) to
encourage projects to become official Eclipse projects. Eclipse
Foundation has set up rules that ensure a really open development
process and that guarantee that a project can't be locked, and that
encourage contributions over forks. It makes things safer.

That's probably a good idea.
Maybe the Foundation (or the community in general) should make it more
official that projects on GitHub/MarketPlace are welcome to become
official Eclipse projects and explain to authors that being an
Eclipse.org project is a sign of real openness and a generator of success.

But in any way, I can fully understand from the Foundation POV and from
our "consumer" POV, that there is and will always be a distinction
between Eclipse.org and non-Eclipse.org projects. The Foundation rules
are definitely something good, that make a difference.

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone in Red Hat office in China. Maybe Rob
(Stryker) can help.
