Why not :-)
Mostly because I like using real Git and having it on GitHub. Also, it's a pain having a plugin with it's own autotools and GP autotools build systems mixed, at least as far as I've figured out.
Ahh, dear old autofools .... ya gotta hate it.
Still you could get it listed on the website as an external plugin like embrace and keep your bespoke methods. (And ref our other thread, you have tested it on all permutations of Linux & windows, 32 and 64 bit, X86, Atom and Arm? ;-)
But zencoding does have an external dependency that embrace does not.
Who doesn't have Python? :) (ok, windows guys, but still...)
I was thinking of zencoding itself :-) but since you mention Python...
