Comment (by Ipstenu):

 All plugins hosted on WordPress.org are open source and all have the same
 SVN URL format: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/akismet/

 But I think you meant that not all plugins have public development
 repositories that everyone can find.

 The reason we don't allow that is people abused 'hidden' links like the
 donation link. They'd put in URL shorteners and send people to spam pages
 :(

 The only way it'd work is if we added in code to whitelist what URLs
 showed up.
