The devstack plugin concept seems logical and useful to me.

GlusterFS Cinder CI is probably the first one implementing the plugin.
See https://review.openstack.org/#/c/146822/

One suggestion. The doc for creating a new project at stackforge (
http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/creators.html )
is for a full blown community project, there are few stuff that can be
skipped/ignored for the devstack-plugin case.

Would it be a good idea to take that doc and trim it to have just enuf
details that apply for creating a new devstack-plugin project ?
