Please have a look on
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Extensions-website#Bugs
if your comment is already there.

Have you looked at the dashboard (you get there over the menu in the right top of the 
site (with your name on it)? Does that helps?

The correct way should be: create a new project and submit it for review. Since it is 
approved / published you can go ahead and create releases and upload downloadable 
files.

The two sections are by default in the release section. If there is no experimental 
release than there will nothing shown.

Currently you have to select for every page (project, release, downloadable file) 
language neutral, otherwise the extension will only shown (in the list of available 
projects and releases) if your language setting is English. This is an issue in 
combination with LinguaPlone. I had to file a bugreport for that project.
