I do see the need for the details asked in the nomination form – but instead of ‘vendors may nominate their own products’ I was arguing for ‘vendors should nominate their own products if they deserve it’ .

If their users are excited about their work, that will excite the plug-in authors. thanks Vineet, I fixed it.
