I also support it. At the moment I have merged google
maps/calendar/video into one package. I use it for my local wiki.

Exactly. First -- call the geo location resolver, and then -- mark the
coordinates on the map.

I wouldn't say so, as googlemap plugin does (roughly) only the 2nd step
(mark the coordinates on the map).
What is at least doable is to agree on the syntax of plugin (for example
google_maps plugin uses "{{googlemaps>...}}" syntax and googlemaps
plugin uses "<googlemap ..>...</googlemap>" syntax; maybe both
alternatives should be in).

What will be the main official trunk for the plugin?

When more than 1 person is involved, organizational work should be taken
into account. If you think that merging of all google plugins makes
sense for you, let's define the requirements and just do it.
