The main purpose of the mechanism is to provide a central place to record the download URL(s) of services that host multiple projects, so that if that service changes its download URL(s) it need only be updated in a single place. It’s perfectly fine if that service uses only a single URL. The googlecode group uses just one URL, for example.
