Public bug reported: Hello!
I'm opening this LP to begin the discussion for consideration of implementing the Python Plugin API (documented here[1]) into our sudo package. We have received requests for this from some customers, and other distros (RHEL[2], namely, apparently as of 9.x) have implemented this. The lack of inclusion on our end has presented itself as a migration blocker for some. This has yet to be implemented upstream, with extensive discussion going back a few years found here[3], though stalling out March 2022. I recognize this would represent (potentially significant) security concerns, though given the above, I believe it would be worthwhile to consider implementing this in future releases. Thanks for your time and consideration!
