How is that different from keeping the plug-in in the GIMP CVS tree?
The idea is to keep plug-ins that are maintained outside the GIMP tree
outside the GIMP tree. Now if you move them into a gimp-plug-ins
module, that's essentially the same as moving them into the gimp
module. It makes it more difficult for the plug-in maintainer to
continue to work on his/her plug-in and puts more work on the GIMP
development team.

Of course, if a plug-in developer wants to use CVS or Bugzilla we
should offer our help. And of course we should be willing to out
packages up on ftp.gimp.org and announce releases on www.gimp.org.

I don't follow refocus development closely but if is actively
maintained and developed outside the GIMP source tree I'd prefer to
keep it that way. Simply for the sake of keeping the GIMP source tree
somewhat managable.
Perhaps a feasible idea is to create a set of extra plug-ins that are  
in a separate CVS module, similarly to what already happened to GAP,  
gimp-perl, gimp-help and most notably gimp-data-extras. This can make  
room for plug-ins that can be considered as very interesting or almost  
essential and can be included in distributions as a single package.
