Of course. I attached it.

In a provider node you need to set shared_preload_libraries to
'pg_ddl_decode'.

In a subscriber node you need:
1 - install pg_ddl_decode by the command:

CREATE EXTENSION pg_ddl_decode;

2 - call the function:

SELECT ddl_create_slot('host=providerhost port=5432 dbname=db');

3 - after some DDL queries in provider you need to execute in a
subscriber the command manually:

SELECT ddl_get_changes('host=providerhost port=5432 dbname=db');

I warn that this plugin has ugly code sometimes. And ddl_get_changes()
has a infinite loop. But it shows concept of DDL replication.

Also this plugin uses some functions from pglogical_output and pglogical.

Earlier I have did tests with pglogical. I attached the patch for pglogical.
