How does Mozilla solve the third-party development of extensions to manage the addition and updates in addons.mozilla.org ? Is it really necessary to be a single website (the official) with the only extensions repository? Similar to app.packages, how about the PPA model apart of main/supported repositories?
You can use the good old package managers to install extensions and then enable them in the GNOME Tweak Tool. Arch Linux has tons of gnome-shell-extension-* packages in its user-supplied repository. When using packages, the burden of supporting the extensions is on the distribution, however. Allowing for multiple *web* repositories for per-user un-package-managed installations seems like something we don't need unless someone is really interested in maintaining a separate web repository.
