[Bf-committers] Collada importer/exporter kickout

[Campbell Barton]

Hi Juan,

theres nothing wrong with this - its basically what I do for FBX and a
few other formats - keep them running and try to fix bugs users
report.

You wont be expected to fix every bug either - for more simple scripts
like this often technical users provide patches too.
