Interesting software stack running this registry: Wordpress on Apache/MySQL to serve the website and Node.js with SQLite to automatically add content using the Wordpress API. https://github.com/jquery/plugins.jquery.com

I would be interested to hear the rationale behind such a crazy tech stack.

Wordpress is good at serving essentially static content so that part seems reasonable. The jQuery team is good with JS so node makes sense for building backend services. The service itself is not complex and probably doesn't have huge scaling concerns. Essentially performs a git pull when triggered by a webhook.
