Support the plugin on Github

Hello CloudFlare Team,

I once again will ask that you consider supporting the CloudFlare WordPress plugin on Github. Currently the latest version of the plugin breaks WordPress oEmbed support which was introduced in 4.4. On top of that it is clear this plugin has not been heavily supported since its release.

Over 3 years ago, the plugin was being supported on github and can be found in this git repo: https://github.com/cloudflare/CloudFlare-Tools

Although now the plugin deserves the respect to be updated, and placed in its own repo.

There are many other successful WordPress plugins supported on Github, and two great examples are Yoast SEO and Jetpack (managed by Automattic). I imagine many CloudFlare clients use WordPress, especially considering the fact that it powers 25% of websites on the internet. Officially supporting the plugin on Github will allow anyone to submit Pull Requests and Issues in an effort to offer the best CloudFlare plugin for WordPress. Many of the other unofficial CloudFlare plugins could probably be merged into the official plugin, some examples:

* https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/sunny/
* https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/purge-cache-for-cloudflare/
* https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/cloudflare-flexible-ssl/
* https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/geotargeting/
* https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-denyhost/
* https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/use-jquery-cloudflare/
* https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/cloudflare-rocket-loader-ignore/
* https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/analytics-for-cloudflare/
* and so on …

I understand there is the concern with actually having a CloudFlare employee officially managing the project. Although I think just creating the plugin repo on Github and having members of the CloudFlare team review the pull requests, will allow the community to pick up the slack in fixing small bugs and improving the plugin until the CloudFlare team can decide best on how to manage the project/plugin on a longer term basis.

This plugin is used by 80,000+ installs. I encourage anyone who manages one or more of the 80,000+ installs, or any developers to +1 this thread.

Wouldn’t you like to see faster updates, less bugs, improved performance, and new features for the CloudFlare plugin, I truly believe CloudFlare officially supporting the plugin on Github will be the quickest way to make this happen.
