I guess we haven't documented that anywhere.. probably because we've
never really decided on a process.

Anyway, some basic criteria for inclusion are:
- acceptable license (compatible with GPL+exception)
- acceptable code quality
- won't get us sued, doesn't violate anyone's terms of service too badly
- does something useful or interesting

Please file a bug in GNOME bugzilla requesting inclusion of your
plugin. You certainly won't have any problems with the last two
criteria, and the first two shouldn't be too hard either.
