Well, this will need to maintain the hook e.g. on adding white rules for
warnings that are common and don't hurt much. Give we don't add such
thing, geanylua, prettyprinter and a bunch of other plugins will not be
part of the party.

I diasagree as see above.

In basic thoughts I'm with you. As this will remove a bunch of plugins
from repository and split up focus very much I'm afraid I have to disagree.

I think submodules is nice for including external libraries into your
source tree, but will make things more complicated by none visible extra
from my point of view. Its against the idea behind geayn-pluings (see
also below).

This wasn't the goal behind geany-plugins as wrote in other. The goal
was to have one single build system, one single translation and some
more common infrastructure.

This is up to the author of plugin ;D
