Hi Gabriel,
there are no fixed standards but it might be a great project to evaluate
the plugin landscape and see how people do it in the wild, to see if
there are some defacto standards or best practises.
I tried to document some variations I found recently in
https://hannes.enjoys.it/blog/2023/07/plugins-in-qgis3-ini/
There should also be a post to a QGIS mailing list where I asked about
standards but I cannot find it again because mailing lists. Iirc the
answer was "there are no rules".
Cheers, Hannes

Hello everyone,
I'm developing a plugin and I'm not sure where to write the settings.
Should I create the settings object with my own organization and
application? I would expect a plugin's settings to be stored in the
profile folder where the plugin is installed, within the same qgis
configurations file, so it doesn't seem like a good option to me.
If I write the settings under the same organization and application as
QGIS, is it appropriate to create a root group for my plugin? All the
plugins I have installed did that, but for some reason they are hidden
when viewing the advanced settings with the new tree widget.
Is the "plugins" group appropriate to create a sub-group/key with the
name of my plugin?
The only email I found in the archive referring to the settings
structure is [1], I'll keep it in mind when it comes to group/key
names, but any other recommendations on good practices for third-party
plugins are welcome.
Regards,
Gabriel
