Working Group to deal with plugin community issues

The community managers and the ESC identified community issues with plugins as a larger topic within the Gerrit community that needs attention. A group of volunteers formed a working group to drive this topic and work on resolving the issues. Anyone is welcome to join this group and help with getting the work done. Issues that this group is tackling are collected on a hotlist in Monorail.

The focus of this group is on community issues with plugins (e.g. processes and best practices around plugins). Specific issues with plugins, extension points and plugin infrastructure are not in scope.
