          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 63299
                CC: website@global.libreoffice.org
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: EXTENSIONWEBSITE: allow to enter feedback to the
                    extensions; public or only for authors
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: pmladek@suse.cz
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: WWW
           Product: LibreOffice

Some extensions can't be supported by TDF easily because they are hard to
build, use, or are too language specific. These should be supported by the
author.

We need an easy way how to contact the author. It can be partly solved by the
enhancement bug #58423. But some authors does not have its own bugzilla. We
need to contact them another way.

One possibility would be to make the authors E-mail address easily accessible
from the extensions web site. Would be possible to add a button that would open
E-mail client and prefill the address?

Another solution would be to allow adding comments for each extension and send
them automatically to the authors.

The second solution has the advantage that other users will see the feedback.
They could share hints and suggestions. They could be prepared for potential
problems even before installing the extension. IMHO, this is the best way how
to handle support for 3rd party extensions that are not supported by TDF.
