Description (last modified by )
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

I would add:
- we need cooperative platform to let one or more maintainer group plugins under a reasonable number of submenus: now it is very difficult to find a plugin when installed

I will list here some of my expectations regarding the new centralized plugin repository - and related to it - some extensions on the Python plugin installer:
