This is a great idea. For each plugin we can set a main category for menu 
placement + a number of tags. In the next step we can make the gui 
customizable for users. As well menus and toolbars as a dockable toolboxes.
I don't know about user customizable menus, but at least we can enable user 
customizable toolbars.

So first I'll prepare a list of plugins, so we can see what we've got.
