Well if someone (tm) were to create a mirror repo with the hg history
imported then that would be a start.

(OT slightly) I find the PR interface on Github laughably naive, no
reasonably responsible committer is going to commit a PR by clicking
the button without testing it first, by applying it to a working dir.
But applying it to a working dir is a messy workflow involving either
a transition via patches or having to continually adjust the remotes
of your local clone :( </rant>

But the pr process does seem to encourage submissions.

I'm not so sure about this, my experience from another project with
plugins under the umbrella of the main project organisation, is that
either plugins are "dumped" and left to the main devs to maintain, or
that there are issues around stability and reliability of the plugins.
 But being under the umbrella of the main project, it gets the blame
for plugin problems.

Given the great flexibility of Asciidoc and the variety of possible
extensions/customisations/themes I think it would be better if such
plugins remain outside the Asciidoc organisation, but with a central
place for the plugins to be registered and described (a wiki for
example).  This makes it easier for users to find plugins that the
developer wishes to make available, but does not add to the workload
of the base project.
