Being hosted on gnome.org is not directly related to being part of the
GNOME development platform.

Not really, no. The runtime needs to be dependency-closed. Where
something is hosted does not really figure into this much. For
example, GTK+ depends on cairo (freedesktop.org), harfbuzz
(freedesktop.org), epoxy (github). All of these need to be in the
runtime for GTK+ to work.
