While we are at it, we could implement another idea which has been
floating around for some time:

* Provide an RSS feed listing new and changed plugins. This would allow
  sync-scripts as well as other tools to identify new plugins and enable
  them to retrieve only those instead of the whole tarball, thus
  reducing the server load.

This should be pretty simple if we are working on the Feed update
routine anyway.
