Some late thoughts - not included in my sketch:
(.. now that we are looking at the design ;) )

 - search in titles of the extensions or in descriptions or in both
 - (maybe votes ..)
 - when it comes to different versions for different OS-es, I would say
   make a different Extension (thus name) for that (since that must be
   rare occasions and it saves some work on the design and buidling)

OK

+1 for the latter idea.

Links to the releases and link to download the latest, I guess ?

I guess the user (the one who downloads) will see the 'content type' ?

I think some of those will be the same for all versions of the
extension. So omitting to fill in by the author (and easy link or such)
would be helpful.

For what I realise now (trying to visualise your technical terms) I
think it's good.

Wonder if others with experience/knowledge of other extensions-sites see
some omissions / ideas ..

Cheers,
Cor
