Some ideas:
The file upload page in Extend could have an extra field with a link to an external repository. Seems easy to implement. Although in that case you might want to show other data from the external repo as well..
There could also be a field which describes the license used for the plugin.
And a field where you could link to an existing plugin. ( "This plugins code is based on plugin: " )
So that this info is better structured instead of possibly written somewhere in the plugins description..
The first idea will also encourage people to host their code elsewhere, so that a future closure of the Extend repo will not be so abrubt, since most people have already hosting it elsewhere.
