quickly screened the GRASS MLs, I can't find any entry that the GRASS
community was ever asked if there could be e.g. a shared attempt for an
automatization to create/maintain the plugin code.

Looking at the new OSGeo website:

*Desktop Applications*

-QGIS Desktop
-GRASS GIS

*Geospatial Libraries*

-Orfeo ToolBox
-GDAL/OGR

*Meta CRS Initiative*

-PROJ4

Most of the software mentioned in this thread are projects under the common
umbrella of OSGeo.

An option may be to ask that OSGeo plays a more proactive role in helping to
coordinate and supporting (technically/financally/...) such inter-project
challenges.

I will forward a short summary of this thread to the GRASS community.
