Alright, I confess I didn't know there was other upstream than GP for this 
plugin - I assumed upstream was the GP version. And looks even crazier, you Lex 
were a maintainer of Matthew's plugin in GP? How did that work? You were 
watching Matthew's repository for changes and applying them to GP? And if 
someone made a pull request on GP, you took the patch, made a pull request on 
Matthew's repo?

IMO it would be best if GP was upstream for every (maintained) plugin - both 
for the development reasons (like applying patches to all plugins at once when 
some change is made in Geany, verification that something didn't break for all 
the plugins etc.) and also user perspective (all plugins at one place). 

Of course everybody is free to decide whether he wants his plugin part of GP or 
not but if he wants to keep a separate repo for development, he should make 
sure the two are in sync (and it should be one person taking care for both 
repos).
