well maybe not having Patchou having to moderate and approve the entries, the people that have plugins and are serious about them will want to have it in a position that more users can access it and update it. so of course not all of them will go into the database, just the people serious about their plugins, which i'm hoping most of the good ones will
.
there could be a php script or sumthing where people can upload the details of their plugin. e.g latest version, upload the latest version to the central site (could link to their plugins but then might be unreliable for some downloads). then that would ease the amount of time other people have to spend in this databse.
plugin maker makes new plugin -> updates it in the database through a simple php script -> uploads file to the central server -> maybe specifies a date when auto-updating will be turned on? -> then author can release it on their site etc. Maybe even have a option to upload a patch file so u don't have to re-download the whole thing (this may be 2 complex tho).
A simple system wouldn't be bad, its only to notify of updates and to download. except of course i'm not completely sure how much effort it would take to do this and if its possible
good in theory tho
