Hi,
We have plugins. a lot.
We have tickets for plugins. a lot.
We have plugins that have not been maintained since 2 years.

What shall we do?

I am currently trying to bring trac back into a living system, but
there is a lot of dead stuff inside.

1. I deleted all plugins from the components drop down that had less
than 3 tickets. I think until we have a separate bug tracker for
plugins they should use "plugins" as component
2. There are Plugins which have tickets assigned to the plugin owner
that had no response for quite a while (>1yr). I propose to close the
tickets as won't fix.
3. There are also Plugins that have many tickets and no source code
changes. I propose to delete the plugin, because it is obviously
abandoned bad code.
4. There are Plugins that do not have a release and no development
activity. I propose to delete the plugin, because it is abandoned code
that cannot be found in the plugin system
5. There are Plugins that seem to be used by very few people and have
no activity. But they dont have quality issues. I think we should
introduce a review process to delete duplicate, trivial, pointless
plugins

Dont get me worng, I really like plugins, I like community activity.
But if we dont do some housekeeping from time to time, the plugin repo
gets a filthy pile of junk :-)

Comments? Ideas? Proposals?
Fabian
