I'm using the same as the znc plugins shipped by znc itself. AFAIK, the znc
ABI is not stable, so backporting an upstream patch could potentially break
other plugins.

Perhaps znc could Provide: znc-plugin-$somenumber, which could be used by
out-of-tree plugins? Adding the znc maintainers to the loop for their input
