See 
http://wiki.octave.org/Contributing_to_the_development_of_packages/modules 
and related wiki pages.

If you code fits into an existing package, the package's maintainer is 
your first contact person. Some packages don't have a particular 
maintainer so you can use this mailing list.

You may also submit small contributions in the patch tracker:
https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?group=octave

If you want to create a new package, that is a collection of function 
for a certain topic, please present your project (with code) on this 
mailing list. If it is useful it can be hosted at octave-forge.

There was an idea to make a platform called “Octave Agora”:

However, the website is currently down.
