That, or that a group of motivated plugins authors gets together to
create a "blessed" plugin repository, possibly hosted on gcc.gnu.org to
leverage on the GCC "brand", licensed appropriately, built and updated
regularly against trunk, and released following the GCC release
schedule.  The GCC website and documentation would refer to that
repository as an example of how to write and maintain plugins.

Given the constantly-changing nature of GCC internals, plugin writers
would be encouraged to submit their software for inclusion into the
Repository for benefits like visibility and the general comfort of being
in the train as opposed to trying to run continuously running behind to
catch it.
