New issue 28907 by joelpt: Add homepage_url attribute to extensions  
manifest.json
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28907

I would like to see a standard homepage_url attribute added to extensions'
manifest.json file, and have that URL appear in the Extensions list when
specified.

As it stands, when I view the Extensions list, there is no indication of
each extension's homepage. This means I often need to do a web search to
locate where an extension may reside on the web. Currently this can be a
hassle, since many extensions are currently found as e.g. attachments on
page 7 of some forum thread.

Duplication between many Chrome extensions and similarly named Firefox
extensions further complicate the matter (especially since 'chrome' is also
a common term found on pages relating to Firefox-version extensions).

I think adding a homepage_url attribute would give extensions a sense of
'place', and make it much easier to find an extension's support forums,
etc.
