I think, if using GitHub is too difficult for you, then writing a good plugin is basically impossibly difficult for you
Is the repository hosting the plugin downloads, or just storing links? If we forced GitHub, we could just store links, even for historical versions.
Any chance of an API that a plugin may use to perform a version check? Such as "Give me the latest version numbers for plugins X, Y and Z". Preferably in some simple-to-parse format (not JSON - we don't have a parser API in MCS yet)
