Is there a real problem we are trying to solve with this? I am not sure, each plugin will belong to exactly one menu and the rules can technically be enforced. IMO They can as well have some entries in two different menus. Or require a totally new menu (although there need to be really good reasons for this). This discussion seems related to the category vs. tags discussion for plugins, which we had some time ago, where I also think, that the category solution is not flexible enough in comparison to the possibilities offered to plugin authors by the extensive QGIS API.
Therefore, I would propose not to implement hard rules (like specifying the menu in metadata) but leave all the options to the plugin author and have some intelligent soft rules, which can be considered for each case individually, and eventually be discussed with the plugin author in the approval process.
