Hi, I've recently started using the w3af scanner and love it! I'd like to
contribute some code to the project and am wondering how to go about this?

I've written 2 new discovery plugins; one is a wordpress theme auditor.
Many wordpress vulnerabilities are theme specific, this plugin finds the
running theme on a blog, attempts to find installed but not running themes
by enumerating popular theme names from a list and for any themes found,
runs tests to see if they are vulnerable to common vulnerabilities. Right
now I have all of the Woo themes in the theme list and it checks for a new
vulnerability that is common to all of them (WooThemes shortcode
vulnerability). It is very easy to extend to new themes and vulnerabilities
and I plan on adding more.

The second is another discovery plugin that looks for misconfigured adobe
crossdomain.xml files. Details on this problem can be found here

Thanks!
