This would be detrimental to one of the useful properties of plugins (i.e., less code we need to maintain). I set up a landing page where projects can register their plugins (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/plugins). My suggestion is to use that page as the central plugins directory, with the assumption that we (GCC) are not the maintainers of those packages. We simply provide a link to them. Diego.
