It does change a bit more, but I haven't looked at it closely

Not sure I understand that comment

In the jobcreator so far I only have 1 job template[*], all jobs are
created using that template. Each job only needs to define a few
properties like this:

<job name="hudson-plugins_blacklist" >
  <inherit>
    <job>standard-build</job>
    <job>github</job>
  </inherit>
  <propertyset>
    <property name="displayname">Plugin: Blacklist</property>
    <property name="scm.git.path">/hudson-plugins/blacklist-plugin.git</property>
  </propertyset>
</job>


*) And a few template fragments but they are not really essential and
are going away

As you can see from above I am pretty much at that stage now, although
to be fair I am missing some functionality like picking up surefire
reports and adding sidebar links.

Checkout the commit needed to add the plot plugin:
https://github.com/hudson-plugins/hudson-on-hudson/commit/1e795d5e55e7651ddb324172b86967a08e3681f8#pipeline.xml
and then I ran "./jobloader.sh hudson-plugin http://localhost:8080/
