Not quite.  The addon site is run by Mozilla itself, there's at least a 
semblance of quality control (New addons are marked "experimental" and 
are only downloadable if you have an account there, and after 
acknowledging that you know they've not been properly tested.) and 
Firefox can be set to check for updates and download them for you.  I 
may be a bit unfair here, but I personally find it hard to imagine Gnome 
doing the same thing.  It's not that they're unwilling to help the 
community (If that were true, they wouldn't be working on Gnome in the 
first place, would they?) it's more that I don't think they'd feel any 
responsibility, preferring to leave the effort either to some third 
party or to the various distros.  Still, if there were a central site 
for Gnome3 extensions that was worthy of trust, it would be a Good Thing.
