Isn't this self-contradictory? A plugin with no maintainer will probably 
never be updated. Why maintain it in a DVCS then? If somebody wants to 
create a fork, he/she is free to maintain the fork on github/bitbucket/etc.

BTW I wouldn't make vim.org too dependent on github. Different people prefer 
different VCS or hosts. Maybe the plugin form could contain an URL field 
that is used to retrieve the README, wherever it is hosted. I'd display the 
README as plain text only.

I personally think tags would be a great step forward.

Regards,
Tom
