Some of these metadatas are used for releasing maven projects using the
maven-release-plugin (e.g scm,)
Also, some of them are mandatory for deployment to maven central
(

If they are not located in the same workspace but share a common parent
(e.g. jvnet-parent), I guess that they should override some information
(scm, website ...).

If there is pom inheritance, users can still look at the effective pom
(mvn help:effective-pom) rather than going up the tree.
Hope this helps,
