Geany plugins doesn't "freeze" changes, but yes it does slow them down with reviews etc.

The benefit though is that it gets access to the Geany packagers to put it in distros if its part of the plugins collection.

The real problem is plugins where there is no maintainer for the plugin to create or review the bugfixes, other people who are not really invested in the plugin may eventually make or review minimal fixes to keep it alive, but grudgingly and slowly. That is the case with the markdown plugin.

Only the collection infrastructure is meant to be supported by the Geany-plugins devs, the plugins are the work of individuals or small groups so if they disappear everything grinds to a halt for that plugin.
