[Mono-ue] Estimated release date, access to repository

[Mikayla Hutchinson]

Hi Łukasz,

Our plugin is dependent on a number of engine patches. We plan to
contribute the patches upstream, but until then we need to
(re)distribute them in an engine fork, and as Miguel said we are still
ironing out the details of the licensing situation. I'm hopeful it
won't be long but can't promise anything as these things take time.

Thanks,
Mikayla
