Request to take over or collaborate on Bronzeman plugin (per plugin takeover policy)

[elertan]

Hi @CodePanter ,

I wanted to reach out regarding the future of this plugin. I’ve developed a new Bronzeman implementation Bronzeman Unleashed, which is built entirely from the ground up with a different architecture and feature set. It focuses on full rule customization and a more flexible system for both solo and group modes.

After discussing this with the Plugin Hub maintainers see related PR and discussion here, they suggested I'd contact other bronzeman mode plugin maintainers to see whether we can either collaborate or potentially have my plugin replace the current one, as per the plugin takeover policy.

The main reason I'm suggesting a replacement rather than merging is that the plugin architecture differs a lot. Integrating would require a lot of work and maintenance overhead, which I am honestly not looking forward to.

Please take a look at the implementation of my plugin to see whether we can work something out.

Thanks,

Dennis

Hi Elertan, do you by chance have discord to talk about this more smoothly? I would like a bit of time to check out your project, play around with it, and get an honest opinion before considering something as drastic as giving up my project.
There is also another person working on another group-bronzeman implementation, who contacted me about a potential merger. You might want to talk to this person too:
#31

Yes, I do. Feel free to add me on discord. My username is elertan there as well.

I’ve also been in contact with @tugglicious, who seems open to contributing to Bronzeman Unleashed (the same person behind PR #31). He mentioned he and some friends plan to test the plugin, so I’m looking forward to hearing their feedback as well as yours!

I completely understand that handing over your project isn’t an easy decision, and I really appreciate that you at least want to explore the idea and try out the plugin. For context, the maintainer of Group Bronzeman Mode also mentioned he'd be open to the idea for Bronzeman Unleashed to take its place if it benefits the community.

If you have any questions or want to discuss details, feel free to reach out anytime.
