I agree that a manually created table would be quite some (unnecessary)
work. I propose that we automatically aggregate data from the plugin
pages (most data we want is available there already, other may be
added) instead. We could make this step trivial by basing the
repository plugin on the data plugin (if Andi agrees) which already
provides flexible data aggregation.

Adrian
