Plugin committers now receive svn notify emails with every commit to their plugin. This is something we’ve been planning to do to assist with collaboration, but we added it today without extra things like being able to sign up for other plugins. (Look for that soon, though.)
And not to sound like the PA in a subway or at an airport, but if you see something, say something. Say things to security@wordpress.org.
arena, and 5 others are discussing.

Andrew, I noticed this today while updating a plugin, it’s a great added feature! Thanks.

Any plans to switch the plugin repo to git at some point?

There actually is a much better intake here: http://teleogistic.net/2011/05/revisiting-git-github-and-the-wordpress-org-plugin-repository/ – but it would still be quite neat if, instead of svn, WP was using git in the first place.

We wouldn’t move the plugins directory to git without moving everything to git, and there are no plans to do that.

I appreciate this
But :
mails sent are only html (plaintext not supported)
i don’t know how they look like in other mail readers but in gmail they look ugly (most of the css is discarded).
