Dear Stefan I sort of take the view that plugins are a way of testing ideas before they are committed to the core. This was partially behind my idea to run the small survey -(which btw has only had 20 or so responses) that might identify widely used/required functionality.
Personally I would prefer not to become a core developer, but I am prepared to work with someone who is to help support anything that I have implemented as a plugin migrating into the core.
