The rotor plugin doesn't seem to be maintained anymore and was always somewhat of a hack to vdr. Seems to me rotor control should really be a part of vdr diseqc control code. Just about every sat box out there includes rotor control function.
I've seen numerous people make the same request and although I don't use a rotor myself, I do agree support for it should be included in vanilla VDR as it's a basic common function & equipment. I'll guess that if enough people reply to this thread that Klaus may add it to his TODO list (assuming it isn't there already).
I would also like to see it be able to handle a rotor per card. Not much point in having several sat tuners if they all have to look at the same sat.
I'm sure if Klaus decides to implement this, he'll do it in such a way that makes the most sense & flexibile usability to maximize the benefit of adding it. No point in adding more functionality if you leave it crippled. :)
