It seems there are plenty reasons to prefer mpop over fetchmail: http://mpop.sourceforge.net/comparison.html

To answer your initial question: the way it usually works is that a package is in the repos if a developer wants to maintain it. Otherwise, it might be in community if a TU wants to maintain it, or in AUR if someone else wants to. If you want to see mpop in the repo's I suggest putting it in AUR or voting for it if is already there. Cheers, Tom
