Some background on the keyboard plugin. This was extracted from the iOS core, and put into its own plugin so updates are not tied to a platform release, and fixes can be rapid. Someone filed this issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6176 and I didn't know that BlackBerry also supported some of the keyboard preferences, so it might be multi-platform -- the BB code is definitely not extracted out into this plugin.
The issues related to the keyboard are under the label "keyboard-plugin" in JIRA, and there are currently 18 open issues. It is a complicated plugin (see its mobile-spec manual tests), and complicated to test. I am not opposed to it being under the "labs" namespace. After talking to the Adobe team, we could also host the plugin under the PhoneGap Github org, but I'd rather use that as a last resort.
