As I am interested in potentially supporting OAuth in Mantis, does the 
plugin focus on being an OAuth consumer or provider, or can it do both?

Make sure it is licensed with the GPL or a compatible license, so that 
future users have the right to fork it or redistribute it as needed. 
Create a Git repository for the plugin on git.mantisforge.org, and push 
the repo there so that it is available alongside other plugins.
