I think writing the plugin itself doesn't take more than few minutes
when there's simple API for it. It's the API designing that takes time..

I think lib-index API is pretty great now, mail-storage API needs some
heavy redesigning, and imap/pop3-specific plugin API hardly exists yet.
What would it need? At least make it possible to replace, extend or just
transparently hook into existing commands (pre, post,
somewhere-in-the-middle?) and create new commands. Creating and
replacing already works. Figuring out how extending works could be
tricky. Mail-storage API already allows hooking into it. What else? ..
