Unfortunately not, I worked only on those already in Vim.

Ok, I will take a look. I see that your file does not depend on 
plaintex.vim. It might be a good idea to remove that dependency...

The syntax scripts in Vim already cover all of MetaFun. MetaFun keywords 
are highlighted by default inside ConTeXt documents; for MetaPost files 
('mp' filetype), you must put

   let g:mp_metafun_macros = 1

into your vimrc.

MetaPost indentation is tough. I have rewritten the indent script in Vim 
from scratch, and now it works reasonably well. I will try yours, but 
you might try the one currently in Vim, too.

I will look into those, too. Do you know that Vim has built-in support 
for digraphs (:h digraphs)? For example, α can be obtained by typing 
<c-k>a* in Insert mode.

OK.

I could maybe create a GitHub repository, to make it easier to merge 
your work.
