Better yet, we could use "wiki rules" and open the GC project to
anyone who has filed a CLA with the ASF. In that way, if we later
decide to incubate a GC plugin, the paperwork will already be in
place. The project would need its own list for commits, but we could
defer other support to the Struts lists, to keep it all in one place
(and help popularize the plugins).

I should mention that we did something similar at SourceForge. The
project trailed off after awhile, but I think the plugin model
simplifies the notion of a project devoted to contributor extensions
with a low bar to admission.
