[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] Resign Maintainership (#435)

[Colomban Wendling]

@elextr well, the problem is that

* many plugins aren't really maintained, even by their maintainers.  That's the problem of GP: we want some standard out of it, but maintainers don't necessarily answer.  Another approach could be arbitrarily dropping plugins when they have something we'd like to fix instead of proposing a fix.
* some are happy we do some of the work.  And that's mostly fine, although some should also show more concern :)
* some never answer PRs, neither refusing nor accepting them.  Which is the problem here, you probably should have refused it.  It's fairly complex to remember not to PR something here but other things there, for which part are here (e.g. build system should go on GP, but code changes on upstream, which then should be imported back).
So yeah, it might be annoying, I get that.  But maintaining it might mean triaging reports, or even backport changes -- or revert them.

So well… hard to please us all :S
