Hi,
Not sure which plugin you're talking about (better give links and informations directly in general).
The "deploy plugin" I can find [1] does not seem to be "to be adopted" as of now (though indeed from the activity, it might be eligible).
If you want to start hacking to get a grip on it, a good first step is to submit pull-request to the plugin and get them reviewed.
Then, or sooner if you already feel confident enough, we can set you up as a maintainer. But beware that this plugin has a very high number of installations (10k+),
hence one'd have to be maybe a bit more careful than on another one.
Hope this helps
