It isn't, but if you contribute a plugin for which you are the only author then maintaining it becomes a problem because you need to rely on a committer to keep the plugin updated. That's not something we want to do. I'm been trying to flush the plugins out to locations where those most interested can work on it freely without being bottlenecked by how fast we process patches. > (I do believe ASF is asking for CLA's for everyone; contributors of patches, > those posting useful ideas on mailing lists, anything intellectual property > related - not just for committers.) It's not an IP issue, it's a maintenance issue. I would like releases for plugins to become fully independent of the core and we're getting there. Having plugins developed elsewhere also encourages this. -- jvz.
