All three plugins are missing because of dependencies. We already talked
about this for previous releases: shipping Webkit as a dependency is
just not fun because you need a) proper binaries and b) it is huge.

Python might be similar except that there is a official installer
available which is easy to use. Though I think we should skip GeanyPy
for this release but definitely should think about including in future
releases.
