More precisely it's a list of all? the repositories with PostgreSQL
extensions on
GitHub?
FWIW I see a few of mine on there, which are indeed PostgreSQL extensions,
but for are also mostly just random, mainly unmaintained non-production-ready
code I've dumped on GitHub in the unlikely event it's of any interest.
The only one I consider of possible general, viable use (and which is available
as part of the community packaging infrastructure) is also listed on PGXN.
OTOH not everything is on GitHub; PostGIS comes to mind.

The wiki sounds like a good starting point, assuming someone is willing to
create/curate/maintain the list. It would need weeding out of any
extensions which
are inactive/unmaintained, duplicates/copies/forks (e.g. I see three
instances of
blackhole_fdw listed, but not the original repo, which is not even on
GitHub) etc..
