I indeed planned on making examples for every available style. Tony Yu's 
style gallery seems indeed quite interesting, I'll take a look.

I also planned to register it into USER_LIBRARY_PATHS to import it 
directly. You shouldn't have to import an other plugin if you wish to 
use a matplotlib built-in style...

You also talked about migrating to the main mpl organization. How 
exactly would that work?

Thanks
