Agreed. The "official" place for submissions has *always* been the wiki.
Just because you set up another 1 or 2 places does not mean people will
use those. I think it would actually only further aggravate the issue.
(people only posting stuff to the ML and hosting elsewhere)

    * IRC - For real-time chat.
    * Wiki - For documentation, submission hosting and light notes about
      submissions.
    * Mailing list - For in-depth discussion about ideas/projects and
      submissions on the wiki.

That's pretty much how it is. If people want to go outside of that, it's
fine but the above 3 are the official ways to interact with the community.
