You are right that installing resources is a problem for most users. At some point we should deal with this by adding functionality to import resources files into GIMP. Ideally it should be as simple as dropping the archive file or a folder on the Brushes list. GIMP should then ask the user if the files should be copied into the main brushes folder or if the folder location should be added to the brush search path. At the same time GIMP could ask for tags to assign to the new brushes. Ideally it would also look for a tags file in the folder and offer the tags found therein as the default.
