I heard somewhere that GitHub pages support a small number of white-listed Jekyll plugins, yet I can't seem to find a comprehensive list anywhere.
Where can this information be found?

If you publish your site from a source branch, GitHub Pages will use Jekyll to build your site by default. If you want to use a static site generator other than Jekyll, we recommend that you write a GitHub Actions to build and publish your site instead.
For some sites with thousands of pages, Hugo is a must because of its build speed. For others, Jekyll can be a must because of a few plugins with specific functionalities not found in Hugo. But for the majority of us, it comes down to personal preference. So, you can't really go wrong with either Jekyll or Hugo.
While Jekyll was indeed initially created by Tom Preston-Werner, the founder of GitHub, it has stood apart as a separately-maintained project for quite some time now.
Here's a list with the Jekyll plugins that GitHub Pages support:

I’d like to add that the link Red provided may be outdated when more plugins get whitelisted.
github/pages-gem: plugins.rb should be up to date.
