Well if someone (tm) were to create a mirror repo with the hg history imported then that would be a start. > and accept pull request via github. (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. > > https://github.com/asciidoc > https://github.com/hudson > > Anybody knows who is controlling that user name?
