Create a standard tool for distributing releases

[ZyX_I]

Idea is derived from python: posting package to pypi is as easy as python setup.py register (to register new package or new version of a package in python package index) and python setup.py sdist upload. It would be good to create a tool that, based on addon-info.json and README, Intro section of help file or the whole help file, will upload plugin on www.vim.org, creating new script page if necessary.

Non-optional features:

• Adding scriptnumber key to addon-info.json when first uploading a plugin.
• Using README or help file (whole or only first section) to update description on each upload.
• Using template installation detail suggesting containing instructions on how to use plugin managers, officially supported by vimcommunity. Should also contain information about dependencies.
• Triggering immediate vim-pi database update on successful upload (both initial and update).
• Creating and uploading archive containing necessary plugin files. (Needs an extension to addon-info.json to filter those files).
• Updating version number in addon-info.json.

Optional additional features:

• Generating README out of the whole help file or just its Intro section.
• If configured adding release tags to VCS and/or releases to bitbucket (github issue tracker has nothing like this).
• If configured committing changes to addon-info.json and README.
• Registering new www.vim.org user from command-line.
• Triggering immediate vim-scripts update. Needs assistance with their teams.
• Creating ebuilds, rpm specs, deb-src packages, rpm/deb packages and similar things used in various distributions. Guess initially this will be limited to ebuilds only.
