To record here (and expand on) what we discussed in Reddit comments, before adding these and similar, it might help to define the exact aim and target audience of the list. Because these 2 aren't really presented as "Python compilers". But rather, Python implementations for Java and "C#" (CLR) platforms respectively. Yes, they include a kind of compiler internally. But that's true for the reference Python implementation, CPython. If we include all of them, what message the list will convey? "If you use Python, you always use a compiler, rejoice!" As in anecdote, that's "absolutely true and absolutely useless".

So yeah, it's definitely under consideration how to deal with these, maybe there should be a separate category for such projects, they definitely should have a description explaining why they are in the list, maybe they should have direct links to source code related to "compiler" part, etc, etc. Dealing with that should come as organic list growth, so may be not fast (months/years). Hopefully that's ok.
