[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Request access for new Nginx module package

[Thomas Ward]

The NGINX maintainers currently are focusing on getting the additional 
third party modules we already include into separate source trees before 
we take on any new stuff.  You can add it to our list, but we need a 
link to your source code, potentially we may start by forking yours into 
Salsa.

Have you made an attempt to build the package yourself?
