The end goal of this plugin would be a one stop shop for foreman core and
plugins developers that will supply a set of tools that will aide the
development process.
I have started it by adding generator that would automatically add a
migration to a plugin, with naming convention that will enable easier
uninstallation of plugins. The discussion of this feature is in the rfc
<https://github.com/theforeman/rfcs/pull/15>.
In my vision, it would be a repository for generators, rake tasks e.t.c to
aid plugin developers to write foreman plugins.
Things that I think should be in the plugin:
generator for the whole template - create a plugin in one step
generator for plugin declaration
generator for assets handling
generator for gettext
generator for seeds
Feel free to criticize it, suggest different names, suggest different
solutions, add things to my todo list. Basically any input will be welcome.

The name implies it's a Foreman plugin. Other than that, thanks!

+1, thanks Shimon, I think this is something I would use if we can get
it to mature I hope it can become something like Forklift.
If this is meant for core too as you say - I think adding gems like
'better_errors', 'brakeman' or 'pry-byebug' to the Gemfile.local would be
useful.
Other things I'm thinking is changing the test db to run in memory as
Lukas showed in a thread here a while ago, and making sure your plugin
PRs run on Jenkins (that could be a bit tricky)
