This site uses (latest) update-center.json + the per-plugin stats at 
http://stats.jenkins.io/plugin-installation-trend/ + scraping wiki pages for 
its data.

And since update-center.json is populated using the POM metadata, that's all we 
have. A fix should probably address update-center.json generation, rather than 
the site.

Which may ultimately be weird -- e.g. duplication -- due to different user 
names between GitHub and LDAP, but probably still better than what we have now.

Or just distinguish "Maintainers" and "This version was released by"?

Good point.

Also, we probably should have at least some of the links from the wiki's plugin 
info box on the new plugins site as well.
