This is great!

I tried to come up with a solution for this myself. The plugins are (in my 
opinion) the only good thing about Jenkins. I would never use it if it was 
not for the plugins. A solution like this is needed, so that plugin 
developers can avoid situations like this:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/jenkinsci-dev/git-changelog/jenkinsci-dev/Jsck8GgWwJg/GAZV8Y0-CAAJ

Competition is a good thing. But competition is not allowed among Jenkins 
plugins. Its very frustrating when you dont want to contribute to an 
existing plugin. Perhaps because of the way a problem is solved in an 
existing one. If you want to solve the same problem, or similar, in a 
different way, you will be denied. Or forced to merge you code into the 
existing one. Like in my case with the git-changelog-plugin. It is now 
causing confusion among users.

I'd like to see an independent marketplace where plugins can be published, 
rated and reviewed. Just like the Atlassian Marketplace works. I started 
working on something like that 
(https://github.com/tomasbjerre/jenkins-plugins/ and 
http://www.jenkins-plugins.com/) but have not had time to finish it.
