Whether the community does it or RunRev does, a solution still needs to 
be found and put into the request queue.

Other than by reading the stack files, how could the display names be 
obtained?

Since Plugins are by definition focused around community efforts, IMO 
the UI and much of the spec for the APIs for managing them should be 
driven by the community.
