I don't know why, but in addition to the Image Gallery plugin, I've been working on two requests from the forums: a system for reporting comments to the site admin, and fixing MT-Privacy so that it can work with Movable Type 4.3. I'll start checking stuff into my GitHub repository again, mainly for the fixes to Privacy.
Officially, Privacy is still broken beyond the point of being safe for the average user, but the fixes that I have made to it allow it to assign privileges, authenticate against those privileges and then end a reader's privileged session. The main pain in the butt will be fixing the regular expressions which alter the management screens in Movable Type to show the privacy status of an entry. Once I have it working in my branch on GitHub, I am going to start the process of scrapping the Perl configuration file in favor of the YAML-based approach for configuring MT plugins.
If I have time over the next few weeks, I plan to release new versions of Image Gallery and Privacy, and do an initial 1.0 release of my new comment reporting framework (with accompanying request for comment). Then cleaning up and releasing a new style or two, possibly followed by patching StyleCatcher to be better able to handle styles with larger images in them (the current size limit is a paltry 100kb which is unworkable for many styles that were once WordPress themes).
