Although that appears to be down at the moment, it's where the Official and Contributed Plugins are hosted from. As I pointed out in a previous thread on this the model you wrote is basically like trac-hacks.org, and feasible. There is some question as to whether we should go with a DVCS to allow for more flexibility in merging and trading pieces. It appears that some plugin devs prefer Git or Mercurial over svn for this stuff. Overall though I agree we need a central hub for plugin development to make it easier to manage the Official ones and allow champions to easily pickup where someone else left off.
