Obviously to ask for permissions to use it.

Another reason I started this thread is that repeater in question publishes its call sign, via Morse code, where owner's name does not match listed postal address based on the public records. I was able to trivially find and talk to the owners of all other repeaters I can hear in my area, but not this one.

Programming an output which matches its input is nothing other then open repeater advertisement.

My personal opinion is that if there is an open repeater which does not do anything to hide PL, e.g. input equals output, it should be listed regardless of the owner's desire. It is an OPEN repeater. Prohibiting anyone but owner to list OPEN repeater makes myGMRS site usability very questionable to say the least. I came here for the sole purpose to see if several really OPEN, input equals output, repeaters I can hear around me are listed on the site and they are not. I believe that there should be a way for anyone to post OPEN repeater information and give all users ability to confirm its status if they can access it.

I discovered several open GRMS repeaters in my area by simply listening to frequencies. However only small fraction is listed on myGMRS. Some are listed on other sites and some are not listed at all. My understanding is that "If you are not the owner, please contact the repeater owner to add it to the database." But many discovered repeaters don't publish their call sign or published call sign seems bogus. Question: why does myGMRS prohibit publishing open systems repeater information on their web site?
