How to get new plug-ins into the repo?

Fabrizio Gennari
hello.

I've written some GStreamer plug-ins for an audio file format. It is far
from mainstream: it is mainly of interest for retrocomputing fans. It is
the TAP format, a lossy compressed audio format used to efficiently
store tapes used by the Commodore computers in the 80s.

Despite it being obscure and with a limited audience, I wonder whether
it was possible to add it to the repository. It is in a Git repo hosted
by Sourceforge. Also, there is a patch to the typefind plugin: with
that, Totem can play TAP files. The latter would be sent as unified diff.

Regards,
Fabrizio

Link to the repo? Is it a library, or a self-contained plugin? What
license is the code under?

Usually your best bet is to make a patch against gst-plugins-bad and one
against gst-plugins-base for the typefinder, and put it in bugzilla.

Cheers
