The main reasons that come to mind:

1) Hudson user can't commit and tag

I think there's a Maven plugin for that.
Otherwise, you could simply add a "git tag" shell command when build is done successfully.

2) Hudson user can't deploy finished builds to download

All other projects that build on Hudson use it to deploy builds. It's a simple cp, you just have to let hudson part of the right group.

3) Hudson is often down, in a bad state, or otherwise broken.

Maybe you can explain the connection between Hudson and how that makes it easier to contribute patches?

It makes it easier to see how build is configured and how it behaves. So it makes it easier to see how to reproduce it locally, Hudson is also the first place some potential contributor look for when they want to see how stuff is built. Hudson is part of the CBI initiative and is recommended by the Foundation and used by many other projects.
