It is great all of the content types that are available in Panels, but sometimes their categories and/or naming isn't as consistent as I want it to be. Would it be possible to implement a simple alter hook on the plugin information so that plugin information (title, category, icon, description, etc) can be changed by other modules?

The use-case you mention seems like it would be better served by a bug report on the individual content types? I have no idea if a hook is feasible, but the issue belong in Ctools, so I'm moving it over there to let the maintainers there decide for themselves.

Here is a patch -- I haven't tested this yet but it should be very easy to do so.
