I don't see that can work. So the mere fact of subcontracting the 
development of your plugin would make it suddenly OK.

And I don't think that's desirable either. We mostly need better tagging 
to potentially help filtering things in the UI.

By the way we'd probably need some sort of geography base tagging. A 
number of plugins are specific to users of a given country typically.

So, when applicable:

country=comma-separed list of 2-letter country ISO 3166 A-2 code 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes)

Ex: country=fr,be

and also:

language=comma-separted list of local names (as in 
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlocale.html#uiLanguages)

Ex: language=en-US,fr-FR
