I think this is a valid thought - specifically a way in which the developer of an extension can get it to users before stable publication. Back when I was doing a QGIS plugin, I was encouraged to release very early indeed with the "experimental" flag set. It was very difficult to get any feedback or testing before doing that, but takeup was subsequently really good. Obviously, plugins for a desktop application are a very different thing to Geoserver modules/extensions, but some kind of official channel would probably help. But there's still a workload - QGIS plugins have to be approved to be published in their plugin repo. So it might not be possible.
