In general I have no objections to releasing and maintaining Bloodhound-compatible code for plugins that are hosted on trac-hacks. In this case, we are still in the stages of investigation and we have yet to decide if we'll be using any of the code from trac-hacks for the ticket relations feature, and if that code would be hosted on trac-hacks or imported into the Bloodhound repository. I'm glad to know that we have several options.
