community repositories? community and activities report? Who would be interested in joining?

Maybe you've noticed the discussion on vim-dev about providing a single
repository containing all vim plugin repository information.

The goal is to allow multiple parties (VAM, NeoBundle, ..) to use this
repository.

Thinking about it I come up with:
- my UltiSnips fork
- Snipmate (and vim-snippets)
- my vim-wiki.mawercer.de code
- vim-dev-plugin
- vim activities and community report web site (to be done)

Those are maintained by a couple of people at the moment anyway.
Note that I didn't talk to the repository owners yet.

and many additional packages which I'd like to allow commnuity to
contribute to even easier.

I even consider moving vim RUNTIEMPATH into its own community maintained
repository could be a success - because a lot of things could be
improved - and we could work on new standards such as "asynchronous task
lists" etc.

Who of you would be interested in joining such a community maintained
project - even if its a piece only?

I'd also like to start something which existed in Haskell for a long
time: The community and activities report.

So we need a new page collecting such updates - so that its harder to
miss new plugins and how they compare to existing work.

For vim-addon-manager-known-repositories (which is likely to be renamed)
we're looking for a new home, thus discussion should take place now
about whether we should create something like

github/vim-community/<the projects>

or just use

github/vim-pi/vim-pi (pi = package index)

for that single project.

I feel the more communication the better.

Ideas, thoughts - comments?
