Extension management 2018 feedback/Finding

Extensions that have passed a security review should be searchable
I typically browse through mediawiki.org to find extensions to install. I'd like to be able to narrow my search results to extensions that have passed a security review. Legoktm (talk) 06:04, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Central catalogue to enable automatic installation
There should be a central catalogue accessible by tools (API) to enable automatic installation. Entries should (besides name and description of extension) comprise installation mechanism (tar ball, git, composer, ...) and download location (gerrit, github, packagist, ...). The catalogue to be used should be configurable in MW to enable other organisations to curate their own catalogues. F.trott (talk) 08:12, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Comments

 * Are you're asking for is something similar to the ExtensionDistributor API? But that it would automatically download and install it?
