As I have mentioned, the excerpt is generally identical or at least
similar to the POM description or /index.jelly, so why not use those
instead? (You need an index.jelly anyway.)

This does not make much sense to me. The plugin author is well placed
to decide on a category, just as they would decide on a proper display
name and so on. If the “crowd” wants to adjust that, well then we have
pull requests.

I think it is practical. As a one-time batch task we scrape up
existing tags and record those in the UC generation tool as historical
fallback values; and edit the POMs of @jenkinsci plugins to define the
current labels (just like Nicolas did a batch update of repo
definitions a couple years back). Subsequent plugin releases would use
the value defined in the POM.
