We currently do all development in an internal Subversion repository and are not prepared to take external contributions.

It's a PR and recruiting tool.

How is that statement good PR or good for recruiting?

It's not good for either, but if this was an attempt at open source 'out reach' then they're kind of failing at delivering by not taking pull requests. That leaves it being a weak attempt at PR/recruitment.
