For me the most important point is that it is managed on IETF (or IETF's
contractor) servers.

as no private data are involved, i am curious why?


Because public does not mean unlimited availability.  Let's say that the IETF
decides to use a collaboration tool hosted by a service run by an external
company.  The data is public (although it can be stored in a proprietary
format) so anybody can consult it.  But suddenly the service is
bankrupted/become collateral damage when servers are seized/has its
certificates expiring/etc...  Unless someone did some preventive data
liberation, the data is no longer available, at least until whatever caused
the problem is solved.
