There are advantages and drawbacks with both approaches.  If MPlayer and
FFmpeg were in one repository they would share revision numbers as well,
so a commit to MPlayer would bump the FFmpeg revision number and vice
versa.

The idea was to keep them separate because they would be directed at
newbies so they could mess with the repos as much as they want and that
the repos would be thrown away after the SoC finished (of course the
code should get committed to FFmpeg if it was good enough).  Other
decoders have also been developed separately before getting committed
to FFmpeg.
