Hey Brad are there any plans to allows plugins to add to /admin/settings at all? It would be useful for element type settings.

We currently don't expose either of the two examples you gave for plugins to extend.

The closest to what you're looking for is the [hasCpSection](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/plugins/setting-things-up#methods), which will give your plugin a menu item in the top CP header.
