I would not give permission unless I know exactly how, what and why something is changed.

Not all authors spend time on WoWInterface. They may release here as a courtesy however their main web home maybe elsewhere. Thus they are not going to see threads of this nature. PM them. If that is too daunting, then perhaps you need to rethink your idea.

To be quite frank, uploading a compilation with 300+ AddOns in it is overkill. You are better off either going with a general compilation and users can add the class specific AddOns themselves or you can can create "bolt on" packs that add the class specific AddOns (including any settings you wish to include). Aka something like this:
  • MyUI
  • MyUI_Druid (contains any Druid specific AddOns)
  • MyUI_Rogue (likewise as for Druid except for Rogue specific AddOns
  • so on and so forth...
One issue with your "Title Recolor" idea is some "class specific" AddOns are useful for more than just one class. A good example is many combo point AddOns are useful for both Druids (Cats) and Rogues, while many Tanking oriented AddOns can be used by all four Tank classes. How would you plan in dealing with those AddOns? At least with the class pack idea you can include those AddOns without the "need" to modify.
