About plugins - I'd like to see them converted to git too but for me it's much less important. Plugins are usually one-man-show and require much less cooperation than Geany itself and their authors already have SVN access.
Due the huge number of contributors at the plugins project and the, well quiet often broken build, a more decentralized process would be good for the plugins. [...] it would be might useful to make more usage of branches and only merge to trunk, when its apply correct and build is not broken and some other points of policy is met
Taking into account what Jiří said, perhaps the plugin developers should try to follow the policy in the first place, before commiting to svn? It's not like they are lacking hard disks and have to use a branch for storage space.
