1) Plugins are somewhat new to SA (ie: 3.0.0 and higher) 2) While not really hard, the work involved in making a sa plugin is non-trivial 3) You have to know perl.
The real challenge in writing a plugin is not the coding itself. It is the algorithm that is implemented in it. It is a very long way from the initial idea what could be coded into a plugin to an actual usable plugin that doesn't break anything else. Even if you think you have a very good idea, it may become apparent that it produces (too) many false positives after you have implemented it. Then you refine your algorithm, make workarounds, and at the end you dump the whole thing because it isn't possible to get it working flawlessly.
