Hello,
(don’t know if this is the right topic for the request)
It would be great to get a channel for WordPress plugins and themes in the official repository.
The file download verification method should work for this as well.
I.e.
All plugins/themes use a unique SLUG
“Public” URLs look always like this:
- Plugins: https://wordpress.org/plugins/SLUG/
- Themes: https://wordpress.org/themes/SLUG/
To publish a plugin/theme you have to use SVN (really), and the URLs for the repositories look like this:
- Plugins: https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/SLUG/
- Themes: https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/SLUG/
Example for plugin:
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/embed-google-fonts
- https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/embed-google-fonts/
Verification
- Could be easily done submitting the verification file to SVN
