That would be great. Some kind of easy password or account recovery
procedure for plug-in authors was missing from the old site. That can
probably explain several duplicates, etc.
Also, there was no way for a new maintainer to take over an old
plug-in. I don't think that this happens so frequently that the site
should offer a way to transfer ownership automatically, but it should
at least be possible for administrators to perform this transfer when
it makes sense (i.e. when the original author agrees or has not been
seen in several years).

At first I thought that such a feature was not necessary, but I think
that it would be rather useful. And it will probably show what
plug-ins are the most popular. I just hope that you (or the other
administrators) will not have to deal with comment spam...
