these lines merge the plugins into one directory, which gets referenced

# Merge plugin dirs to allow mounting of /plugin as a volume
export GRAYLOG_PLUGIN_DIR=${GRAYLOG_HOME}/plugins-merged
rm -f ${GRAYLOG_PLUGIN_DIR}/*
find ${GRAYLOG_HOME}/plugins-default/ -type f -exec cp {} ${GRAYLOG_PLUGIN_DIR}/ \;
find ${GRAYLOG_HOME}/plugin ! -readable -prune -o -type f -a -readable -exec cp {} ${GRAYLOG_PLUGIN_DIR}/ \;

using cp instead of mv makes the image >200mb fatter at run-time for no upside I can determine. I wouldn't mind kicking in a PR, but before doing so I was curious if that was a conscious choice for backwards compatibility.
