Isn't this self-contradictory? A plugin with no maintainer will probably never be updated. Why maintain it in a DVCS then? If somebody wants to create a fork, he/she is free to maintain the fork on github/bitbucket/etc.We could move all existing plugins on www.vim.org (which don't have any
maintainers) to a github account - the way vim-scripts has done it.
BTW I wouldn't make vim.org too dependent on github. Different people prefer different VCS or hosts. Maybe the plugin form could contain an URL field that is used to retrieve the README, wherever it is hosted. I'd display the README as plain text only.
I personally think tags would be a great step forward.
Regards,
Tom
