I like the idea. However, currently plugins are being identified with 
"ecosystem:cordova" keyword. We might have to maintain that for all plugins 
that do not switch to these new keyword below.

For "tool" there is at least one example of a tool which currently shows up in 
plugin search: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-hot-code-push-cli

So let's add the keyword anyway.

Subject: package discovery

Hey everyone!

With templates out now, I wanted to propose a few keywords for improving 
discoverability.

Firstly, every package should contain 'ecosystem:cordova'.

I suggest we add these new keywords.
'cordova:platform'
'cordova:plugin'
'cordova:template'
'cordova-tool' (don't really need this one)

then we can eventually create a new 
https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=template.cordova.io&data=01%7c01%7cnikhilkh%40microsoft.com%7c2cf20074433d482eead908d32e65dce6%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=csk3hOeXJ%2bJSp1lZCkUba1zeVF51mFCAhjOJ7B8wVa8%3d
 search site based off the plugins search site that uses the 'cordova:template'.

I'm going to blog about templates next week as long as we can land some 
consensus on this.
