Is this because you don't trust wordpress.org, you want to be able to find 
it easily in a pinch, or it'd be too much trouble to keep it updated in 
two places?

Being an official plugin doesn't necessarily require participation from 
the author of the plugin, in fact new versions of a plugin would need to 
be reviewed before they're on the site anyway.
