My thought is that you should do 
whatever you want with it because,
while I can't speak for the PPA project,
it's not likely to be part of PPA proper.  
Although we welcome having
the plugin available turning PPA into
an application generator is beyond the scope of
what anybody wants to maintain.

I did look at the video.  It looks spiffy.  Although I have to say that
I find code generators to be more trouble than their worth -- there's
a reason why application frameworks (Django, werkzug, Pyramid, etc.) 
are dominant in that space.

I made the page, linked from the docs/faq page.  It would be good
to add your plugin to this new page.
