WP 'Featured Plugins' list

Hi,

I’d like to find out how plugins are selected for the ‘Featured Plugins’ list on the plugins homepage, and if there is a pay-for-placement option. I’ve created a new plugin for my company http://wordpress.org/plugins/adcommission, and would like to promote it. Searching for these keywords brings up posts related to ‘featured’ content plugins…

Thanks in advance,
