True, that's actually a secondary option I had in mind as well, just flatten 
it and put everything into plugins/. To be honest, the categorization doesn't 
buy us much.

We could even rename a couple of plugins folders to make their intend easier 
to recognize, i.e. 'qmake' -> 'qmakemanager', 'cmake' -> 'cmakemanager'.

I'm actually unsure what to do, I think I'd even lean towards the "let's have 
them all in one folder" approach. +1.

FWIW, here's the list of plugins which would end up in plugins/:

cppcheck
heaptrack
common
gdb
lldb
manpage
qthelp
astyle
customscript
executeplasmoid
clang
plugins
qmljs
cmakebuilder
makebuilder
ninjabuilder
qmakebuilder
cmake
custom-buildsystem
custommake
genericprojectmanager
qmake
ghprovider
kdeprovider
android
docker
flatpak
appwizard
classbrowser
codeutils
contextbrowser
documentswitcher
documentview
execute
executescript
externalscript
filemanager
filetemplates
grepview
konsole
okteta
openwith
outlineview
patchreview
problemreporter
projectfilter
projectmanagerview
quickopen
sourceformatter
standardoutputview
switchtobuddy
testview
welcomepage
bazaar
cvs
git
perforce
subversion
vcschangesview
