I don't think I'm fully understanding what you are saying but with
that caveat I would add: these are all Eclipse runtime projects
we are talking about, and many of those project represent osgi
technologies (for obvious historical, technical, and other
reasons).
Whether they are osgi technologies or not, many projects need
discovery and promotion...and don't get enough of it (IMO).
FWIW, I would argue against selection criteria that was based upon
whether a project was osgi tech or not. The project I represent is
an osgi tech project (ECF), but I would not be comfortable with that
as selection criteria.

Yeah, exactly...which is why it doesn't make good selection
criteria.
Taking a step back I hardly think that this download page
(or any similar download page anywhere at eclipse) is going
to make but a very small handful of people find a download
they are not already looking for.
I disagree with this. I think it could be true for the
download use cases Jetty/Jesse is mostly interested in (people
looking for Jetty specifically...probably most likely to go to
Maven central Jetty separate from Eclipse). But for other
projects...e.g. ones that are relatively new extensions to
OSGi frameworks, RCP, and/or Eclipse tooling such as ECF
remote services and others...I don't think your analysis
holds. In those cases their biggest problem is that no one
knows about the work because it gets no exposure/promotion,
and being viewed by more people can/does matter.
It does suggest to me that if a project like Jetty doesn't
really get much benefit from being on the main download page
(because everyone is looking elsewhere already) then perhaps
it shouldn't be in the set of 5 selected projects that are on
the download page.
