Probably the easiest way for publishing of plugins would be a python
script bundled with QGIS which would do it on request:

publish_plugin.py -user foo -pass bar  my_plugin

That would zip the "my_plugin" plugin from your local working
directory, sign you in the qgis repository, upload the plugin and
print the result (success / error). Such a script can be done very
quickly, right? Eventually a plugin could do this job, remembering the
username/password, so publishing a new version of a plugin would be a
one-click action.
