<Thinks deeply...>
For the main category, yes. There are sub-categories, which I assume help alleviate this issue. If not, this will depend on the main addon becoming notorious - successful - useful.
No doubt, the main addon should be a framework that requires the least amount of code from the Patchers. And each patch would start from a premade template - so the actual work is just a few lines of modifications / additions.
This takes from my work with
New Addon. A simplified time saver.
I now wonder about the necessity of this addon. Tackling maintenance. And developer interest and preferences.
