I’m mixed about this, part of the goal of the repository is to encourage more collaboration between plugin authors, which I think this would hinder to some extent.
It depends on the plugin. I named Touched “WordPress: Touched” because it was much more about additional WP functionality than a specific customisation by myself.
Customisations, and to some extent spam plugins, suit that naming convention, but many plugins won’t.
I agree though — it is a simple and easy way to get your name out there.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
