Hi, André. [Sorry for replying off list yesterday]
If your changes are compatible with the current plug-in (i.e., nothing would break if they upgrade), I doubt people would complaint. I think merging your changes counts as improving the software eventually so I'd love to let you maintain it if you accept. If they are backwards incompatible, but you're willing to release it and maintain it under a different name (to avoid any confusion), I would suggest deprecating my plug-in in favor of yours. Either way, I think your changes would be most welcome. Please let us know what you decide. Cheers, - Gustavo.
