OK, on the "Be bold" principle, I created a page on mediawiki.org
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_Hooks_Registry
This is a slight variation on the page name suggested by Evan. I linked to it from

Well, the good old-fashioned way to reduce the likelihood of collisions is just to name it using some prefix convention like "MyExtensionName_" (assuming your extension name isn't some common English word). That should be effective.
There simply aren't enough extensions out there that this could be a problem.
If someone's concerned, using a page on the MediaWiki wiki like http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hooks_Registry to maintain a list of hooks in extensions would probably be more than adequate.
