What I was thinking of was some kind of script (language TBD ;) that would take the 'maven --info' file that you mentioned earlier, and use that to update my plugins. That way, when someone updates the info file, I just need to run the script to get all the required updates. Hey, maybe there should be a Maven plugin for that! Building it as a Maven plugin would at least solve the language problem.
