Summary

  • Documents that a plugin's contributor fork remains the default source of truth for updates (fork + PR into master-forge, same as initial submission), and that write access/branches are not granted by default.
  • Formalizes named per-plugin branches (e.g. geolayout-plugin) as a case-by-case exception for when a maintainer is unresponsive or their fork is gone, scoped to that one branch and always merged into master-forge via PR — never a direct push, since build.yml skips master-forge entirely.

Test plan

  • Docs-only change; no build/test impact.
  • Maintainers agree the documented policy matches intended practice.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Clarifies that fork+PR into master-forge is the default path for every
plugin update, and formalizes named per-plugin branches as a case-by-case
exception for unresponsive maintainers, scoped to a single branch and
always merged via PR (never a direct push) so CI still runs.
