About your topic, you are just bloating with useless and uneeded information, and as a result just confusing the end-user completely. You should always try to keep things as short and as straight as possible.
This can even stop people from using your plugin in the first place. Like they open the main page and see one giant wall of text. They'll say "it's too complicated, I want something simple".

For example:

Uneeded, if someone is able to write code, they can figure out how to use github or they already know.

Miscellaneous:
You need to disable nextmap.amxx.
You need to disable any other map choosing plugins, such as mapchooser.amxx.
This should be in the install instructions. Basically, what you want is a clear list of instructions. Like do x,y,z, short phrases without useless words. For example:
1.Copy x file in folder y.
2.Disable this and this and this.
3.Reload map.

How to upgrade your Galileo?
Download the "galileo.amxx"
Replace your currenty installed version.
It is done.
Probably useless, it's obvious that the plugin needs to be reinstalled.

Having the entire configuration file in your post seems too much. People can just open the file after they download it. Also it's a pain to maintain, needs to be changed after each update that's messing with user settings.

You have a "The Galileo can:" paragraph and Brief Features' list. Better to have only one paragraph where you explain everything related to features.

Consider placing credits inside a spoiler.

Spoiler

This entire paragraph is completely unrelated with everything. Do you really think the user will read it? Like I said, don't add walls of text if they are not needed.

Compilations Data is again useless. Remember that you are writting the main post for regular owners, not for coders or for people that really understand that data. And again, do you think they care? They will even use the worst plugins ever, just because "it works".

Setting up a Mapcycle section should be right after features and install instructions. Try to group things together.
