Really? Whenever I have created a plugin I have set a category in the
wiki as just one of several routine tasks.

For me that is a side benefit, but the real motivation is that I
expect the official, signed update center JSON to be a simple function
of the plugin artifacts that are fed into it from the Maven
repository, without mysterious screen scraping of some wiki. If
JENKINS-22926 is implemented and some extended columns in Plugin
Manager want to show installation counts, ratings, etc. pulled from
other databases or sites or astrological almanacks, that is fine.
