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

[Jiří Techet]

> Operation of Geany Plugins is untenable, commits are made without maintainer approval. The plugin has now diverged from upstream.

Alright, I confess I didn't know there was other upstream than GP for this plugin - I assumed upstream was the GP version. And looks even crazier, you Lex were a maintainer of Matthew's plugin in GP? How did that work? You were watching Matthew's repository for changes and applying them to GP? And if someone made a pull request on GP, you took the patch, made a pull request on Matthew's repo?

IMO it would be best if GP was upstream for every (maintained) plugin - both for the development reasons (like applying patches to all plugins at once when some change is made in Geany, verification that something didn't break for all the plugins etc.) and also user perspective (all plugins at one place). 

Of course everybody is free to decide whether he wants his plugin part of GP or not but if he wants to keep a separate repo for development, he should make sure the two are in sync (and it should be one person taking care for both repos).
