Ok, super simple, but it's a start:

So far you can upload & download plugins, and search by tag. No login stuff is done, so all pages are open. Very little validation is done (apart from SQL injection prevention), so you can upload anything as a plugin. View count is implemented, this could be extended to count downloads as well.
I also agree that users should not have to log in to download - it stops people getting at the content. I'd end up making an account for Bugmenot (they provide generic accounts for sites that require login to view content) if I had to use it.
However, developers should register to upload plugins, so they can update existing ones, and get download stats, etc. Uploaded plugins should be marked as 'unverified' until they can be checked by moderators. By default, unverified plugins would not be displayed to site users.
I know the theme isnt great, but it's better than nothing at the moment!
