Ardour is easily extensible:
1. 3rd party plugin APIs (VST2, VST3, AudioUnit, LV2)
2. Lua scripting interface, covering very large chunks of the internal API, already used by many users to do some very clever and/or useful things.
3. C++ source, generally well reviewed by most newcomers
what is does not have, and which is how TFA originated, is a scripting system that lets you build new GUI components.

It just turned out that you did that so well that they expect even more. Honestly, you should take it as a complement, imho. Not a bad problem to have.
