Comment # 3 on bug 9940 from 
Hi,
I'm not to keen on adding LUA dissectors either as I prefere the C ones and I
suspect there will be problems maintaining them as I think many core developers
don't code in LUA.

This aproach proposed by Hadriel Kaplan may be the best:

>An alternative approach is to do what many other apps do: have a mechanism to >find/retrieve/install/update/remove third-party plugins from a common >repository site.  That way the plugins themselves aren't part of the >application package and aren't officially maintained by the core application >developers, but instead are maintained by the third-parties (or not, and they >die off, which isn't a bad thing either).  Many good text editors/IDEs do >that, for example, as do browsers, etc.  Some even do it with the ability to >pull plugins from github directly, instead of storing the plugins in their own >site.
