it depends what you mean here.

1. Hosting on git.yoctoproject.org is mostly for layers supported by YP
membership, these layers are under the responsibility of the YP TSC [1]
2. Hosting on git.openembedded.org is under the responsibility of the OE
TSC [2]

We recently started an initiative using gitlab, to host layers:
https://gitlab.com/openembedded/community, though it's not picking up much
for now. But that would be another option, Paul B. or myself could give you
access

You might want to host the layer on your own (github, gitlab or anywhere
else). I understand why you think that hosting on yoctoproject.org would
make it 'more' official, however hundreds of layers are 'self hosted' and
it's usually not a big concern.

In any case you should register your layer in the OE layer index.
