Why reinvent the wheel? The source for addons-mozilla.org is freely
available. Look in mxr.mozilla.org/amo and elsewhere.

I indeed looked at the code. It's called "Zamboni": http://github.com/jbalogh/zamboni

It's a huge application, I figured that it would take some time just to learn the code, and it may be better to start from scratch
 

It is a MVC model based on the CakePHP framework, is licensed under
MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1 and is quite easy to modify.
