There is no need to fork the code to create a plugin: https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/8.0.x/developer-guide/plugins/getting-started/a-simple-plugin.en.html
Once it's working and tested, it would be appreciated if you would offer it for addition in plugins/experimental under TS's Apache license. There are many plugins that are not in the trafficserver repo. Some companies want to keep their plugins proprietary, which is permissible under the TS license. Maybe some plugins are offered, but are not put in the core repo because they wouldn't be used that widely.
