gedit-plugins is not dead: it has been unmaintained for some years (from 
2.6 to 2.12 iirc) and it has been almost dead in the last months since 
as you may know gedit has changed its plugin system and the plugins in 
that package were not ported to the new system.

However now the module has been brought back to life by Steve Frecineaux 
and we will use it to collect some new plugins for the new gedit.

We very much welcome the help of the translation team with it. That said 
it's likely that the module will be pretty much "in flux" for the coming 
months. I am not sure how the translation team handles modules which are 
in gnome cvs, that would welcome translations, but that are not part of 
any release schedule and that should probably not affect translations 
statisctics etc.

Sorry for the confusion
