Jan,
But these are not our plugins. We are contributors, but not authors. This is the way we promote these plugins between each other. In such a way we can collect these plugins in one place and show users our guarantee in terms of compatibility, updates, etc. Nothing special.
If you think that this is not right, and not corresponding to WordPress rules, then we will remove the menu. That’s it.

Just to be clear, I don’t think you’ve done anything against the plugin guidelines. And you are doing things with the plugins that as a contributor you have the ability to do. I’m asking because it looks odd to me.
But I am not part of the plugins team and my preferences should not drive anything in that space.

*Raises eyebrow*
OK… so with this plugin and others such as Force SSL what was your contribution? Besides adding that menu code to the plugin user’s dashboard? 😉
In my opinion adding that menu alone can be misunderstood. All I am asking is that you consider my opinion and apparently this reviewer’s too. You can also ignore me and my post too; that’s fine and I will not mind if you do. I’d even understand if you chose that option and it’s all good.
Official answer here.
Bestweblayout – you are the plugin author now. You were not the original but now that you took it over, this is your code and you are responsible. That’s why you have that nice “Plugin Author” in green on your name right now.
You took over the code. If you aren’t planning to be responsible about them, I’ll remove all your access and block you. This isn’t a joke. You are responsible for the code and the forums. That’s what it means to take over ownership of a plugin and I know I told you that.
Don’t try to pass the buck.
