Update the plugins page for the new process
This includes defining the process and providing a template for a new issue to
add new plugins. I did go through and audit `No IRC /WHO` so we had at least
one validated entry.
Testing Done:
Ran `npm run hugo:server` locally and verified the page worked and checked the new links.

We've been accepted to the Summer of Code several times before, and were in fact one of the projects accepted in the very first Summer of Code. You can find our project listing on the Summer of Code site [here](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/6208503049355264/). Scroll down to the bottom for the projects. This year we were given two student slots for projects. We accepted the project proposals from James Culver and Prateek Pardeshi. Both students will be working on some major improvements to our currently in-development version 3.0.0. James will be working on a number of key improvements surrounding our message history functionality, and Prateek will be working on a replacement for our aging account management interface. Our lead developer, Gary Kramlich, will be mentoring these two students, however there will be assistance from other members of the project as much as possible. It's our hope that both students will excel in their projects and bring some much-needed modernization and improvement to our code base and improve our user experience significantly. Join us over on [PidginChat]({{<ref "/about/pidginchat">}}) in the `gsoc@conference.pidgin.im` chat room if you'd like to follow the development activities this summer!
