You're right that it is a special case. We only have 5 repos which
have a bare directory name (without the '.git' suffix):
xf86-video-radeonhd, cairo-5c (Nickle), pycairo and py2cairo (dormant
since 2012), and roadster (dormant since 2009), compared to 1,268 with
the suffix. Of those, xf86-video-radeonhd is the only one which got
migrated to GitLab, which I migrated as soon as it was brought to my
attention, after manually renaming the repository since the migration
scripts break if the git.fd.o repo does not have the suffix.

I assume your next question is why it got quite uniquely created
without the suffix in the first place. For that, you'd have to ask the
person who created it:
drwxrwsr-x 8 eich xorg 4.0K Mar  7 21:31 xf86-video-radeonhd.git

As always, it's been an absolute pleasure helping you, and sitting in
my hotel room dealing with this has certainly been a much better use
of my holiday time than enjoying Tokyo.
