I can think of one reason at least: familiarity. There's more chance 
that someone will contribute to test cases if they're familiar with 
JUnit than having to learn yet-another-testing framework.

Case in point: a couple of bugs I found recently I started looking at 
how test cases are done, and decided I really didn't want to waste time 
learning what the testing framework was in Hibernate (no matter how 
simple it may be).
