You would need to rewrite all other versions as they are made by a different studio in a different language.
Wouldn’t it be possible to simply send the appropriate packets for all devices? It’d essentially be using Sponge for the logic, and the plugin for the networking.
There was a similar plugin for Pocket Mine called Big Brother that allows MCPC clients to connect to the Pocket Mine server, however it’s under heavy development.

That would be a really great project, however the MCPE network protocol seems to be completely different from the MCPC’s one. As I am not owning a copy of MCPE, I am not sure how usernames and stuff are handled in the MCPE version.
As far as I know, the MCPE servers are written in PHP (or at least there is a PHP version out there), so ‘reverse engineering’ would not be the hardest thing to do
MCPE servers (or most any server for that matter), could be programmed in almost any language as long as the language supports basic networking features. But yes, PocketMine is written in PHP, and is even open source. So you’re correct, it would be fairly easy to reverse engineer.
For managing logins, the player could be required to choose a password when logging into the game. If I log into the server on my PC for the first time, I’d be asked to choose a password. Then every time I’d log into MCPE, I’d be asked for my password. However, I wouldn’t be asked for my password every time I logged into MCPC.
If I logged into MCPE first, I’d again be asked to create a password. Then when I log into MCPC, I’d be asked to type in the password I created in MCPE once, and then my account would be “linked”. I’d still be asked to enter my password every time I logged into MCPE though.

I once started making Proxy software that would allow MC:PE clients to connect to servers, but stopped after the differences became too great. I was originally replacing blocks that weren’t available on MC:PE with similar ones, so it was still a server for the PC edition. It just allowed MC:PE to connect so that people could chat, sit around, etc.
So something like MineChat?
A more achievable project would be to have two servers - one for MC:PE and one for PC - and connect the chat via a bungee-like application. I feel like this has probably already been done, though.
The MCPE thing has been discussed before. Owexz once had a hack for it, too, he discusses it in his reply here:
I remember chatting to MCPE players whilst I was online on the bungee-connected PC servers.

Not exactly, the players were still able to move around in game, build, mine, etc. they were just limited in the blocks they were able to see. Blocks that weren’t in MCPE were replaced for those users with similar blocks, but still appeared as the correct block for desktop players.
I tried this a while back @me4502 certainly got much further than I did as I was trying to parse “normal minecraft” packets into ones compatible with MCPE and like he said the differences just get to be too much. I think I got as far as getting a MCPE player to join the server and a chat working before I just gave up on the whole venture. I do wonder though if it would be possible to build a fully featured version of the game with modded controls into a mobile device. It would be a hell of a development project. With some mobile form of java the application itself could be run, the problem would primarily be graphics which an ARM processor probably couldn’t handle for normal MC. But phones / tablets are getting better and better, we may see something like this soon.

With MCPE You Just Pick Any Name You Want
This Is An Awesome Idea But The Problem Is “How?” 
Very interesting indeed, there are many folks here who’d love to play with this, I’m sure.
But you might do better to start your own plugin thread than necro-post on a year-old thread.

Thanks @TheDiamondYT, an improved idea on Dragon has been implemented in the MineTunnel app, each MCPE user can set up one of their favourite MCPC servers at http://no1minecraft.com.
Great! Can you at least
A) Download latest RELEASE for github.com/dragonetmc/dragonproxy/releases as it has a lot more features and is kinda stable and
B) give at least 1 line of credit to us
