As most distros work as small teams, it is logical to have the code managed my the Games team as it seems to share many common aspects from a technical point of view with many of the games that are already managed my the distros teams. Another advantage of this is that most large distros are unifying the games teams, debian and ubuntu have been working together for a while and http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/games has been set up to keep all the distros working together which makes everyones life easier. This however does not stop it being included in /usr/bin/ instead of /usr/games or where ever is appropriate for your distro ad under what ever menu, but this issue is probably down to the individual distribution to decide on. If its not in Games then it could go in the free-desktop category Applications/Internet where i find web browsers, IRC, IM, Email etc.. Robin
