I don't think we have a policy or recommended practice for importing or 
requiring other plugins.

Some things like the comment rejection plugins can be done with callbacks 
which gives us a nice loose coupling between plugins.  But others don't 
work as well.

I think we should have some kind of policy which at least specifies the 
expectations that plugin authors can rely on.  I don't have any thoughts 
beyond that, though.

How do other Python applications handle plugins and modules that depend on 
other plugins and modules?
