The problem is that most of the plugins are a hobby for the developer. Therefore, they do not have the time or money to support it entirely.

@David - Alas, that annoys the hell of out me. If you make a plugin and release it on the repository, users have a reasonable assumption that you will:
1) Update it
2) Patch it
3) Support it

Unless you say otherwise, congratulations! You're supporting a plugin! Hobby or not, you have responsibilities.
