Hi folks,
We have just added a MAINTAINERS into git to add a single point to find who is responsible for a plugin. Please be so kind and sending in patches or updating the file on your own for your plugins to show who is maintaining etc. File contains a little header with very brief instructions to do so.
Cheers, Frank

Oops sorry, I completely forgot to do it myself. Now done.
Just a few questions:
* What's the exact difference between P and M? Do we really expect to have a maintainer but somebody else that deals with the patches?
* What's the exact difference between Supported and Maintained? The only difference I see is that "supported" has the word "paid" in the description, but I doubt that most of us get paid for this in particular, and I also doubt it changes anything on how good is the support (hobby vs. job).
Cheers, Colomban

- What's the exact difference between P and M? Do we really expect to

Well... maybe the maintainer likes to get the patches sent to a team or a mailing list.
- What's the exact difference between Supported and Maintained? The
only difference I see is that "supported" has the word "paid" in the description, but I doubt that most of us get paid for this in particular, and I also doubt it changes anything on how good is the support (hobby vs. job).
My fault. I wanted to change this but missed it. I wanted to s/supported/paid for ... (Even I don't know anybody at the moment who is getting paid with Geany stuff ;) )

I suggest to use paid instead of supported and change current usage of supported to maintained.

I'm still not sure what that fact someone is paid or not changes, but otherwise it looks fine and clearer to me.

Whether paid or volunteer, it's still "Maintained".
I suggest dropping the "Paid" status altogether if no one has used it by the time all the plugins' info is filled in.

I disagree. Currently there might be no plugin maintainer being paid to work on a plugin, but: - this might change (...) - is something user should be able to see to resynch there demandings with reality.
I'm reading e.g. support@pidgin mailing list and more than once a week I need to facepalm myself because of users don't understand they are not talking to some paid support. I really don't want to end up on Geany with such situation.

Even if someone is paid, he will probably be paid to do something that person that is paying want (feature, bug fix), not helping random people with support. But such status will just make someone say something like: "Hey, you are being paid, DO AS I WANT AT ONCE!!!"

Hehehe, well said. OK, it's not a big deal, though I still feel it's not very useful for Geany-Plugins.

You aren't kidding! I was reading a bug report[1] on Pidgin's tracker a while back about the auto-sizing of a text box or something and the tone was absolutely incredible, including demands, threats, name-calling and much more. I couldn't work on a project like Pidgin with so many disrespectful users.
Cheers, Matthew Brush
[1] I think it was: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4986

Yepp. And also disrespectful companies. E.g. it seems a bit like Oracle and a couple of others are using Pidgin somewhere internally (which is good for sure), but looks a bit like they are communicating: ask @support mailing list ... But we are changing topics ;D

Well, I will purge it for the meanwhile. We can add it once it comes back up again.

I suggest you to use git format-patch, as to preserve author and commit message information. Probably not a big deal for this one though.
Best regards.
