Should be at least 3 people having interest in it, hard to get anyone to
truly use a module that is not supported nor tested.
I believe the criteria was there to avoid putting into extension modules
that nobody cares about.
That said, isn't the importer already being used by many (all?) of the
OpenGeo Suite users? I thought the "3 users" criteria
was in the clear already with this module.

Yes, that would also be a way. Generally speaking, I prefer the current
setup, it offers a "quid pro quo" setup: someone gets charged to be
maintainer, but
in exchange, other devs breaking his/her module need to fix the breakages.
Modules (and poeole behind them) imho need incentive to get out of
community land.

Works for me.
