I guess we are overcomplicating it. What about simply (working concept):
$ cat scripts/lib/ptxd_make_world_repology.sh 

PTX_PACKAGES_TARGET := \
	$(sort $(filter-out host-system-%,$(filter-out host-%,$(filter-out image-%,$(PTX_PACKAGES_ALL)))))

PHONY += ptxdist-repology

ptx/repology = \
	@$(foreach pkg,$(PTX_PACKAGES_TARGET), \
		echo "{\"name\": \"${pkg}\", \"version\": \"$($(PTX_MAP_TO_PACKAGE_$(pkg))_VERSION)\", \"license\": \"$($(PTX_MAP_TO_PACKAGE_$(pkg))_LICENSE)\"}"$(ptx/nl))

ptxdist-repology:
	@$(call targetinfo)
	@$(call ptx/repology)

# vim: syntax=make
EOF

Doing all inside makefile quite simplifies it and performance is
probably not critical here.

I'll try to cook up something but not sooner than next week.
