Here's some more undocumented API:

http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/hello-dolly.php
http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/hello-dolly.xml
http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/hello-dolly.json
http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/hello-dolly.jsonp=callback

I thought there was an RSS feed for plugins a person had authored, but
I'm wrong, so no help there.
