There are notes in the plugin index thread about how to do this. But, it is basically just creating a thread with the plugin in the first post and asking a mod to add it to the index.

But...

The official "Find Duplicates" plugin was developped by Grant Drake but it has never been update since June 2017.

In my first version I added changes to the fuzzy algorithms to consider the articles and prepositions in other languages... (you can read above)
As this is a modification of an existing plugin, it is a little different.

Since kiwidude basically retired from the forum, others, including myself, have been maintaining his plugins as needed. For most of the plugins, this has been just whatever changes have been needed to keep them working when there were changes in calibre. For other plugins, there has been more work done. In general, the work has been done by someone who uses the plugin and wants to keep it working. When the changes have been made, we post a beta in the thread for testing. If there are no problems, we the ask a moderator to update the released version. This seems to be working for the small number of changes that have been made to most of the plugins.

If you are interested in doing more with this plugin, I would suggest PMing kiwidude and asking him if he was OK with you taking over the plugin. He is still around but might take a few days to respond to a PM. He is happy that people are still using and maintaining them. The advantage of doing this is that you can start a separate thread and manage the release yourself.
