Yeah, I think quanta should be separate.

Well, I'm basically concerned about the number of plugins showing up
there. If we have 10 repositories under KDevelop it starts to get
cluttered on the project page.

A wiki page makes sense, especially since it makes it easy to document
the state of the plugin as well.

That might make sense as one can easily see all projects that a team
collaborates on. We could even use that to define the
maintained/unmaintained status of separate plugins, by adding removing
the team from the main git repository of that plugin.
