Community Plugins - Maintainers Wanted!

[cipherboy]

Background

As part of #64 and the 17-part (16 merged) pull request chain, numerous plugins were removed from OpenBao that were previously built into HashiCorp Vault.

We can split off their git histories with git subtree split and form new repositories under the OpenBao organization space as maintainers step forward.

I'd propose moving https://github.com/JanMa/openbao-plugin-secrets-nomad into the OpenBao as well, if @JanMa is willing, and consider it maintained.

Call for Maintainers

This is a call for maintainers of external plugins! If you're interested in maintaining one of the removed plugins, please let us know!

I would like it if we would "officially" support the most used plugins by forking them in the openbao org. I don't think the Nomad plugin is among them, but thinks like Cloud provider auth plugins certainly are.

In my professional Vault usage I rely on gcp auth, so I would be willing to fork that plugin and maintain it down the road, in addition to the Nomad plugin I already forked.

We (github.com/kubevault) are interested in maintaining the database plugins.
