Comment (by ryansatterfield):

 Replying to [comment:2 toscho]:
 > Options pages should be where users expect it. A plugin that changes the
 appearance adds its menu to Appearance, and one for comments to Comments.

 > I think, asking plugin authors to create an overly long settings menu
 will not really help, and it would result in a bad UI. Nobody wants to tab
 through 20 items.

 No, no one wants to tab through 20 tabs. The plugin page on settings could
 simply tell you where in your WordPress install it is located or be as
 detailed as the plugin creators wants.

 > It should be easier to relocate settings pages. Akismet for example puts
 its comment page under Dashboard, not Comments – I would really like a
 simple way to fix that.
