Public contributions

[curiousdannii]

Release 1.0 will not allow public contributions: only admins/editors will be able to upload extensions and edit them. In a subsequent release we will allow general public contributions.

• Each extension will have a list of maintainers. When an extension is first uploaded, the uploader will become the maintainer.
• Maintainers can upload and edit their own extensions
• Maintainers (and admins (and editors?)) will be able to add others as maintainers
• Users will be able to request maintainership
  • They will be given a box to explain why (they are the original author, the original author is inactive etc) and their name and email will be recorded
  • If there is a maintainer, then email the most recently active maintainer (as I don't want to store user accounts we can sort the maintainer list when one of them visits the page) to approve/reject it
  • Other maintainers will also see the requests if they visit the page
  • Admins will see a notice of pending requests and be able to approve/reject them
  • If a request goes unapproved for X days then email the main extensions librarian to remind them to check the list
• Removal of maintainers will be limited to admins
