Hello,

task completed, this is what I've done:

* updated to Django 1.8.2
* updated and fixed all third party apps to Django 1.8 compatible versions
* made "about" "tracker" and "repository" mandatory
* fixed user map
* added bootstrap pagination (cosmetic change)
* added a red asterisk for mandatory fields in plugin forms
* added a new CSV export view for "bad" plugins (those with missing 
"about" "tracker" or "repository"): 
http://plugins.qgis.org/userexport/export_bad, the link is at the top 
right in http://plugins.qgis.org/admin/auth/user/ only available to 
superadmins
* deployed and tested

For the techies (migration notes):
* there are some new requirements in REQUIREMENTS.txt and most of third 
party apps have been updated also
* there are some new migrations in plugins app, old South migrations are 
gone
* there is a SQL migration since the Django core email field is now 
max_length=254 instead of original 75:
ALTER TABLE plugins_plugin ALTER email TYPE character varying(254);

Have a nice weekend!
