The error triggered inside ContributioIndexer.mergeContributions() while trying to remove a platform:

if (platform != null) {
  targetPackage.getPlatforms().remove(platform);
}

the remove() method calls ContributedPlatform.equals() to find the element to remove but since the parentPackage fields are resolved after merging contributions, the equls() method will fail with
a NullPointerException.
