Right now, the wiki seems to imply that www.gedasymbols.org is a place
where symbols created by users can be retrieved. Actually this is not
possible. This sheds an unfavorable light on the project as a whole. In
fact, when I first looked at geda and got to this dead end, I got the
impression that geda is one of these infamous abandoned open source
projects.

On the other hand, there is http://geda.seul.org/tools/symbols/contrib.html
If I understand Ales correctly, this is currently the way to go to
donate a symbol.

Well, it is not really a wiki. Outsiders like me cannot log in and
change  the content.  I'd be willing to improve the advice for newbies...
