[QGIS-Developer] Plugin Developers Who Don't Want to Add Capabilities - Go2NextFeature

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi Calvin,
thanks for submtting this. I'm fully with you: duplicating work is
wasteful for devs and confusing for users, boring for maintainers so bad
for everybody. In my experience, insisting for merging works is
sometimes successful, and if so the advantages are quite evident. Please
let us know if you feel core team could help.
Cheers.
