There is no need to request for authors "authorization". The authorization is already given. As soon as one releases GPL, the authorization to do it is granted. I will say "graciously" "generously" "altruistically" granted. And I would not ever call such advantages provided by GPL "abhorrent" .

Any plane that meets the requirements (also from fgmembers) can become a fgaddon plane. Of course there can be always disagreement about meeting the quality criteria. But then the plane can still be straight downloaded from fgmembers, just like we do now from countless obscure private hangars.

2) If anyone else likes to work on it he can push his own branch
3) The aircraft owner(s) decide what to merge in the main branch
4) Base package maintainers choose which (main) branches/versions to pull
5) Advanced users choose any branch, main or user branch, to fly and/or test
6) Basic users choose the selected "quality" versions of aircraft offered in the base package
Is that the case with Fgaddon?
So yes, why not use FGAddon that way.
1) Depends on who that 'I' is.

If the new developer is only there to fool around, it is soon enough discovered (complaining aircraft owners) and the account closed along with removing his branches.

Nobody forced me. And I don't need to "pull people over" or "pressure" them. If you are happy at FGADDON, stay there, no problem for anybody in FGMEMBERS.
