The description is "Wikidata batch editor, Wikimedia Commons mass upload tool" which seems odd and, as the description indicates, they've bundled the Wikimedia Commons Extension.
As for the general question, I'm on the fence. The Arch site is a single centralized registry, even though it's user provided content, so Arch users presumably know about it. Gentoo on the other hand has a registry of registries with no central index (at least as far as I could easily discover) to go to find where a package lives. This makes a direct link more important, but also more problematic since it could be removed from the central registry without us knowing.
Although it's not as user friendly, I think I'd lean towards limiting links to officially supported repositories/package managers.
One alternative would be to link to repology.org: https://repology.org/project/openrefine/versions This would give an overview of what versions are available in which distribution, show who the packagers are, and be relatively agnostic about who to promote.
It's perhaps not so user-friendly in the sense that we are not giving people the exact command to run (apt install openrefine) - they need to know how to install a package by name on their distribution.
repology seems like a useful site to me. A little harsh that they give bright red "fail" badges to versions which are only a few hours out of date, but that minor quibble aside, seems like a great aggregator.
