Not sure I understand your suggestion correctly. If you can claim 3
shortcuts for each plugin, we pretty soon end up with 100 shortcuts
fixed for eternity in plugin space. This isn't acceptable.

If we reserve a small pool, this won't be enough, so who decides which
plugin is more important?

Depends on the implementation, but this could work. It should only ask
when shortcuts are affected that actually have been used at least once.
Still, someone has to code it.
