Well the symfony plugins part is the maintainer / creator job to keep it updated. But as there is no motivational thing involved (money or need to use it in sf 1.2 or something else that don't cross my mind atm ), i do not think the maintainer will do it. Instead, you might create an account on SF website, and become contributor to desired plugin, and create a sf1.2 compatible version. This way, you'll know that there is a SF1.2 plugin available. Instead of sfShoppingCartPlugin<http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfShoppingCartPlugin>, you might wanna check sfShop project (google it). It has a "shoping cart" plugin and is written in 1.2 (if i recall right).
