In the past, plugins "colliding" have occured very rarely. If we have a
Tenable plugin in CVS while someone else develops a GPL plugin, the GPL
plugin won't make it. There won't be redundant plugins.

Yes. Every submitted plugin is QA'ed here.

Same as before - send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Most plugins which make sense are
included, those which are not are the ones which will make tons of false
positives/false negatives.
