Package-vc just uses vc for all version control operations, but there is
no requirement to use vc yourself.  If a Git repository is cloned, there
is nothing stopping you from using Magit to create a commit.

The only exception might be if you want to use
`package-vc-prepare-patch', which does in fact depend on
`vc-prepare-patch'.

It is as centralised as package management itself.  Each archive may
list package specifications, next to the archive contents.  As the
feature is new, MELPA hasn't probably had the time to configure the
file, but I hope that might change in the future.
