I think it will be quite difficult. Just think of your proposed 
categories... I thing that many plugins will be present in both app dev 
and web dev... Maybe allow multiple categories ?

NP for me (the plugin was at first for testing the repo) but I don't

Mh, I agree with Paolo on that particular point. The GeditPlugins page 
should stick on supported plugins, on how to get a plugin included, etc.

Then maybe we can do as ephy does : the ephy-extensions repo contains 
some "tools" related to plugin creations : samples, codegens, etc.
