Please add the resynthesizer plugin to gimp-plugin-registry:
https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer

I had formerly packaged this plugin as an independent package
(gimp-resynthesizer) but have found that I don't have the expertise to
evaluate patches against the script-fu scripts for it, nor the interest
in maintaining it anymore. As upstream maintenance recently moved to a
new location and maintainer, I felt it would be a good time to have this
package added to a collection such as gimp-plugin-registry.

I created a proposed patch to gimp-plugin-registry to add resynthesizer.
Because the resynthesizer build process ends up modifying a number of
autoconf generated files, causing diff noise that breaks the
git-buildpackage build, I have included a binary tarball of the upstream
source to be extracted for the build, then thrown away to avoid diff
noise. As such, I cannot attach a proper patch here, but instead refer
you to this git branch:
https://github.com/bdonlan/gimp-plugin-registry

Please note that the HEAD commit is a hack to change the package to
debian native format. This was again necessary due to the addition of a
binary tarball, but can be removed when applied to your upstream
repository, provided that the resynthesizer tarball is added to the
.orig.tar.gz. That said, it may be a good idea to change to debian
native format anyway, as as far as I can tell there is no upstream...
