Well, this one is already there (however, somewhat hidden): the "Contributed
stuff" area on the LyX download page (www.lyx.org/downloads) -- accessible
from the main site under the (IMHO misleading) heading "How to get it".
(I learned, that a volunteer for the website maintenance is searched.)
Just now, there are mainly (exclusively?) external tools (csv2lyx, say) but
I think it is suited for additional styles as well. (A better organization
of the list with subheadings would be appreciated (or even needed, if there
come more and more styles).

Contributions should be sent to the developers list.
