[wp-forums] Plugin authors flogging their own plugins

[Otto]

If the reply is relevant and helpful, I don't have a problem with it.

Most likely, they're searching for topics to post links to their
plugin into. As long as they don't start going too far back (months
and such), then I wouldn't worry about it in small doses. If they
mass-spam the forums with their posts, then that's an issue.
