New description:

 The current situation with plugins is rather confusing for the user: many
 repos, not all of them available all the time, often no easy way to
 understand ahow they work.
 For developers the situation is also not optimal: it is difficult to
 notifiy bugs, easy to miss them, and difficult to fix problems in plugins
 other than its own.
 I suggest to put all them on a trac (either a separate instance or a brach
 of the main QGIS trac).
 A set of useful functions would then be:
  * a script for automatic packaging after any commit; this will solve the
 frequent problems with plugins with wrong XML data being asked to be
 upgraded any time, and make the dev life easier
  * a rating system, so users can tell which ones to trust more
  * download statistics, for the same purpose
  * an info page, better if open to coments
