That was my assumption, as well. I think maybe there should be some
clarification on this point. My guess was that plugin authors would
register at the wp-plugins site, and post information about their own
works.

As far as author-hosted vs plugin site-hosted, I think a site-hosted
copy would be good. But perhaps it could be an option. A link to the
author's own plugin site would be required, but they could opt to
submit a copy of the code for local hosting. Some authors might like
this -- if they have acute bandwidth restrictions, for instance.
