I am not sure if this is a good idea or not.

Defining a hook_feedapi_info() hook (similar to hook_node_info()) to be implemented by parser and processor add on modules might be useful.

What info would you like to return on this hook? Could we use the drupal hook_help() for this purpose?

hook_help() is meant to provide documentation strings. A hook_feedapi_info() hook might provide the name and type (parser, processor or both) of an add on module to FeedAPI.

function parser_simplepie_feedapi_info() {
  return array(
    'name' => t('Parser SimplePie'),
  );
}

Seems better to me than using hook_help().

I can provide a patch if you are willing to commit.

If you are holding the issue because you think hook_feedapi_info() is unnecessary please tag it as "won't fix".
