Installing and managing extensions will become much easier when/if the
"NewStuffManager" is integrated into GNOME.

Epiphany does not have to be restarted to enable new extensions.

You can double click an extension in the extension manager (e.g.
Epilicious). Some of the about boxes have an URL button that will take
you to the author's home page. However, many extensions don't have a
home page at all.

Feel free to CC yourself on

As Epiphany is a GNOME project, it uses GNOME bugzilla. Having our own
bug tracking system instead, is out of the question.
