the Faunalia auto-packaging script [1] is executed as a post-commit
svn hook script for the plugins in the Faunalia qgis_plugins trac [2].

It packages the source and copy it to the repository server, but also
update __init__.py version and the repository plugins.xml (on the
repository server) according to some configuration options in a
config.txt file [3].

Of course this cannot be used as it is because we have no svn repos
(Redmine repository instances uses git), but we may do something
similar for git.

Updating the repository plugin.xml is already done by the new
plugin infrastructure when uploading a new version of a plugin.

I agree with you, but making it easier could be a good improvement
also for devs.
