This has been discussed in the past sprint, and is likely to happen
soon enough. There is some infrastructure we want in place to help
test each release with plugins so we can guarantee some sort of
sanity.
In the mean time, we're also working on getting a spec in place which
would allow trivial installation of new plugins[1]

The closest document I could find was this:
http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/en/developer-guide/HACKING.html

You only have to be registered in Launchpad for bug reporting.
You can contribute patches back just by sending it to this list with
[MERGE] in the subject, and a patch/bundle attached.
We probably need a better document for this, so I'm CCing Ian
Clatworthy explicitly, he might be able to help.


Anyway, welcome  :)


Cheers,


Martin
