update checking seems confused

PlugMan only seems able to correctly detect/query a couple of the plugins i use. I use excel to manually maintain a list of my plugins with versions/links/last-checked info and all my plugins are currently up-to-date. (and for those it does detect are reporting woefully incorrect version#s [lol, it even reports itself as outdated])
I'd like to use plugman for this feature if it can be configured to work a little better.
Can there be a config file to point to the plugin's downloads/files page to get an accurate version#value?
Can Spigot/Bukkit/Paper/GithubRepo be supported?
How can i re-direct a plugin-query? (Ex: Essentials is actually EssentialsX)
Can plugman utilize a another plugin's own internal update checker if it has one? [via command/api/or w/e]
[I realize that paid plugins may not be supported. #accessResrticted]
Thank you.
PS. add an option to List-view command output instead of CSV blob in chat (replace comma with new line flag)

I'd like to tackle this and the other feature requests in this post. Let me see what's involved in this.
The primary issue is that SpigotMC allows there to be multiple resources with the exact same name. Therefore, a name-based search has no way of knowing which one is installed.
I do not have the time to work on this right now, as I have a few plugins of my own I need to work on for my server to be ready for the public. I may come back to this if I get time.
My initial work is here #88, if anyone runs across this issue and would like to have a base to work off, go nuts. :)
