Hi all,

  There are a number of GPL 2 & 3 based plugins that have been converted to
python3 and thus can & do run in the latest version of RB (below).

Would Jonathan and the other rhythmbox developers consider it appropriate
to introduce into the source-tree a community section where external
developers could submit their pride-and-joy?

This would allow these plugins to be actively pulled into the downstream
distro's such as Arch/Fedora/Debian etc. and thus see a much larger
audience than currently.

Obviously, there will need to be some-sort of oversight and yes I would
acknowledge that this would place a small extra burden on the current
maintainers.

I'm not proposing though that these community plugins are to be maintained
by the current maintainers - they obviously would have final veto and could
& should drop plugins that fail to be maintained by the community.

Anyway - any thoughts/pitfalls?

thanks

David
