DokuWiki has two administration levels, admin & manager.  Does your plugin fit 
with the manager administration level?

Otherwise, your plugin doesn't really sound like an administration plugin but 
an action plugin.  Action plugins can pretty well do anything, including 
restricting their activity depending on user permissions / status.

BTW, how do you know its too specialised to distribute it without publishing it 
and letting people see and decide whether its useful to them.  If no one is 
interested, all you've done is spent a little time creating a page on 
dokuwiki.org. For such a little downside there is a very big potential upside.
