your reply showed little up to no knowledge and interest in that
CMS/DMS. Why should I bother /nudge Plone developers and ask them to
spent time on a proposal? Your response shows a very hostile tone
towards the Plone  open source community.
(for your information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plone_(software)
--> first stable release Feb. 2003, last major release July 2019, last
security patch: 2021/05/18)
(and for the records: I'm not a Plone developer, but developed Plone
add-ons)

Maybe you have not been part of the crew that worked on the first steps
of the project and it's infrastructure. If individuals or small groups
wouldn't have set up a website based on Silverstripe (without asking for
permissions or without a poll) or a Template and Extension website based
on Plone, maybe the project would discuss have  discussed about this
tooling for month without any visible action. One core principle of the
project is that the doers decide the way and you'll find this form of
action at many places in the project.
This principle will fail (for a volunteer project) once the people that
want to tell the doers what and how they had to work, becomes the
majority or the bosses.

Great picture with cutting the coat according to the cloth: it reminds
me on 'The Emperor's New Clothes'.

Sorry Uwe but for years I was bantered by a core member of this project
for one mistake which I made in 2012. I never heard something else about
other software and volunteers in this project.
I did my work for TDF and LibreOffice only on volunteer state without
getting any payment or asking for such payment for years.

Regards,
Andreas
