Hi, I published last year an addon that can do that: https://github.com/Bloutiouf/blender-addon-registry . I sent an email to this mailing list to announce it. It went totally unnoticed. That shows the lack of interest BF and the addon community has in a modern addon management. So let's happily continue to edit a poor wiki page and show the world that blender, which claims its extensibility through addons, cannot support them professionally.
I understand Christopher's doubts regarding privacy, which is important for the open source community. To which I answer 1. It's unthinkable without letting the option to enable/disable this feature, which is very quick to add. 2. Getting addons into mainline is not a scalable solution. On the contrary, I dislike that blender comes with bundled addons that I will never use. The scalable solution is to easily allow addons to be downloaded and updated, which is the goal of my addon. Gaia, you could add your plugins in my repository. It could need a little dedusting, as I haven't updated it since, I'll look at that soon.
