There is also the possibility that a plugin would require a non-standard Python module e.g. for machine learning. A script in a makeself archive could handle installing the required module. I don’t see how that could be done with GitHub.
There are some plugins under development that are designed to work with additional hardware such as an LCD display. They needs extra documentation. How would that be handled?
Don’t get me wrong, I would like to use GitHub but just don’t see how.
