There are several problems with that:
1. We don't even have a stable API yet. Since MCServer is still being rewritten into proper multithreading, lots of functions are being created, deleted or changed. Even the principles change (one example: instead of World:GetPlayer():fn() we now have World:DoWithPlayer(fn) )
2. The developer activity is low. There's only two of us relatively active now. We need to attract more active developers. But to do that, we need to be a viable alternative to the official server. And to be a viable alternative, we need more developers. See the deadlock?
3. If we do something of the sorts for Notepad++, people would start asking "why not scintilla?", "why not <insertyoureditornamehere>?"
I think it'd be much better if some of the knowledgable plugin authors could actually bring the wiki documentation page up to date. It's really old now and not very informative. That might help more than a set of highlight rules for a particular editor
