I would guess that it has to do with subpages of a site having high
pagerank, and getting categorized under the main site. Also, links
from the front page, and relative size of the site compared to other
alternatives (i.e. the probability of it being the "right" one) seem
to have an influence.
The little bit of looking around I did indicates that it's still a
black art, but will happen once Sage gets big enough. If there is
something specific we can do (other than having clear and obvious
links from the main page, which we already have) I'd be very
interested to find out though!
