Matias Ventura, Gutenberg’s Lead Architect, recently made a pitch to incorporate some 3rd-party blocks in the Gutenberg GitHub repository:
“There’s a growing subset of blocks that we may contemplate creating that are either more niche or—for various reasons—not necessarily an immediate fit for the bundled library in core. This would include blocks that have enough appeal, demand, and where offering an endorsed implementation can significantly help both creators and viewers given best practices can be ascertained.”
These plugins won’t just be guests—they’ll become roommates, proudly featured in the Blocks Directory: “designed, developed, published, and maintained by core contributors in this repository” but available to install as standalone blocks in the directory.
