All the plugins, really. I am not aware of any plugins that are
maintained outside of the main project, although it's technically
possible.

However, you should probably look around your distribution's package
repositories, it is likely that they provide these extra plugins in a
separate package, or several packages. Then there would be no need for
you to maintain a self-compiled version.
