osgeo4w, yes.

I did build Qt 5.7 - but only started with the packaging, no python3, no PyQt5,
no QGIS based not it.

Not really.  After the Qt4 support is removed.

This is a general question, that is not tied to OSGeo4W.  The plugin manager
and the plugins site will have to deal with this.

QGIS3 will be Qt5/Py3.  So anything available for >=3 (and >=2.99 once we
remove Qt4 support from master) will have to work with it.  So it might not be
necessary to address that separately.
