I don't think the plan ( which was worked upon for 4-5 months and was open to anyone interested ) is insufficient at all. The extension pretty much makes easy any task a publisher or an owner is required to do. Please go through the features implemented as well because the extension has evolved very much from its initial stages.

The answer is a 'yes'. I see you've gone through T100604 and we waited over a week before closing that task to collect reviews and opinions of stakeholders. A message was left on each page( the list of links in T100604 ) to inform existing newsletters and various other developers about the extension and we were encouraged by a lot of positive replies from many editors and publishers to move forward with the extension.

I don't quite get what you meant here. But we have brought up a beautiful extension which works fine( with tables and buttons and what not ) and is believed to benefit many, do have a [[ http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page | look ]].
