I also wanted to something alike, just as a matter of curiosity.

I'm wondering for instance if plugins are really using the 200 widgets
we are exposing. Some widget absolutely make sense (QgsFileWidget,
QgsScaleWidget...) but I have more doubt for some (the properties
widget for instance). But I rarely develop plugin so maybe I'm missing
the big picture here.

Julien
