Sure, you can still make docs CC-licensed for a very closed extension 
though.

Actually, I don't see why you want to restrict where the code is; as 
long as it is publically available (and not just a code dump once in a 
while).

I would not be in favour of integrating other repositories either. Not 
because I don't like them, but because we can't just "pick a few". There 
are many people, that have their own preferences about source control. I 
certainly don't want every extension's git commits (this is an example) 
end up on how pecl-cvs list. If they want the peer review, they can use 
php's SVN.

If people want to use other trackers, fine; we have a link for that in 
the package info already. I don't see what other integration you want to 
do there.
