I'd say nuttx-apps should be treated like package/ dir in buildroot. You want an app that is useful to you? You just prepare make file and kconfig to integrate it and push it. If code is not in nuttx repo, that is Makefile just downloads .tar.gz from the net and unpacks it - it doesn't even have to follow nuttx code convention. I myself have added few apps like that. App only contains Makefile and Kconfig and code is downloaded from the internet. There was never any problem with pushing such apps. And I believe I am the only person that uses them :) So in my opinion, that nxinit should be totally allowed to be added to apps. It's useful to someone. It's 100% optional. It's not default. It does not break anything. Hence it should be added without any votes as long as it follows the rules. Even if such app benefits only a single person.
