Hi Statto,

When I google 'qgis plugin approval' I get:

https://plugins.qgis.org/publish/

If you want to add something there, I think(!) this is a static page in the plugins application, so admins should be able to do this. If you sent me better text (or admin at qgis.org) then we can add a paragraph or so...

Another page talking about the release process is:

https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/plugins/releasing.html

which can be edited via a Github pull request (or by sending me better text).

Personally I think it is better to change the page 
https://plugins.qgis.org/publish/
to a shorter version with a link to 
https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/plugins/releasing.html

because the latter is/can be translated, AND is easier to fix/edit by the community?

Hope this is clear, if not just ping me.

Regards,
