I’ve had this Note Report addon manually installed in my 5.2 version for a long time. It IS very useful. Thanks George!
I advised someone on Facebook a couple days ago to use it in combination with the Books feature to make “Introduce the Tree” cover pages for for various reports. (Is Narrative Web report the only report that has options for collateral Note pages?)
Did not recall that it was not yet in the curated collection of addons.
A while back, @GaryGriffin took on the thankless job of getting the stalled Pull Requests in the addons-source repository moving again.
Another part of the equation was to recruiting GitHub docent/shepherd volunteers. These volunteers would shepherd experimental addons to the official addons-source repository. The Gramps-devel maillist thread in June of 2024 used George’s addon as a example of a useful addon that needed help getting through the clogged system. Another example is the interactive Search gramplet by Vantu5z. Neither has made any additional progress towards being published.
Al Stone @ahs3 offered to help with the GitHub process. But requested some guidance (probably someone coordinating as outlined by @codefarmer) in getting started.

Similar to the addon developer’s wiki, it would be very helpful to have a documentation of the steps to go from a PR being created to code review, PR approval, building, testing and publishing the addons. There’s also the task of merging code back to master branch.
With updates flowing to the Addon Manager again, is it time to find and help publish/distribute some stalled addons? There’s still a starter list of undistributed addons. Maybe @GaryGriffin could publish his Report Samples for new developers? He knows the process (but could pretend he does not) so the volunteer could be interactively trained how to help shepherd. (And maybe help simplify the GiHub process outlined in the wiki. The current process is intimidatingly complex.)
