Yes. I think VAM has great repository information.

But neobundle has similar feature. It is recipe.
You can read sample recipes in the following repository.

Yes. I get the request.

Your repositories are great.
But I think to support current VAM-known repositories in neobundle is hard work.
I must write converter. I have not much time for it.

In Vim todo list, Vim needs standard plugin management.

I think Vim needs standard plugin repositories than standard plugin
management system.
Users may use different plugin management system instead of standard.
But all plugin management system needs plugin repositories information.

>- it allows arbitrary sources, git(hub),svn, etc. 

neobundle has supports of git, svn, hg. Bazzaar and archives are not.
You can add the features easily.
