IHO, I think it would be best to leave it as an extension. Although I do 
think that it would be neat if we could have some "in-house" maintained 
extensions. We could collaborate with Zotero to make sure that the 
extension works and that bugz put through on that extension would go to 
both LibreOffice and Zotero devs. This would still leave the Zotero 
development in the hands of the Zotero group, but would make sure the 
extension work for LibreOffice and opensourced.

Otherwise, sure, if some devs were interested in creating a 
"Zotero-like" tool for LibreOffice, that would be ideal. We could then 
properly advertise LibreOffice in whole as the ideal academic tool and 
hopefully get more academically-inclined people to join QA for testing 
and bug submission.

But for now, I think the general consensus is that, as far as Zotero, we 
market LibreOffice to the academic field by informing them of the Zotero 
tool (LibreOffice + Zotero), which make for a very powerful academic 
office suite.

I am not sure if an arrangement with a firm using proprietary code would 
be in LibreOffice's favour nor in keeping with the projects mission.

For now the Zotero downloads page says:

"Word Processor Plugins for Zotero Standalone

Word processor plugins for Word and LibreOffice/OpenOffice are bundled 
with standalone Zotero. More information is available in the Cite pane 
of the Zotero preferences."[1]

Cheers,

Marc
