That means we need to provide a different way to install those additional resources. Resource sharing plugin does it nicely I think but is not enough advertised. Let's spread the word about it!

I second Regis plan: if someone forks (or even clones) the github repo, and creates a simple script to morph it a little to resemble the structure you need for the 'QGIS Resource Sharing' Plugin to work (see [0] as simple example and [1] for the nice documentation of it), the icons are one click away for users (plus another one to install the plugin).

And the more proper Resource set's we are having, the better our style/icon resources will get.
