In most cases we don't have formal connections with either the upstream java dependencies or the Eclipse projects that use these dependencies. It would be a bit of effort to follow all the Orbit bundles when manifests need to be updated. IMO it would be much better for the Orbit project to undertake the task of getting the manifests in the upstream jars. That would allow them to put a process in place to update the manifests when the need arises. Another concern is that there may be disagreements between what an upstream project wants in their manifest and what an Eclipse project wants in the manifest. I don't think we would be in a position to mediate such a disagreement.
