It shouldn't matter which system hosts it so long as it is reliable and 
the administrator has time for it.

Having it linked from the main page advertises it and makes it 
accessible.

Having it as subdomain.octave.org reduces confusion about the role it 
plays (it is part of the project not something else) and makes it more 
authoritative (this is the official site to upload and download 
extensions).
