Yes, source hosting is another issue -- and one were neither Plone nor Askbot provide an solution yet. If an extension developer publishes on github/gitlab anyway, I think their main remaining need is discoverability. We see that on the existing extension webpage, were a lot of content was not hosted on extensions.libreoffice.org, but just linked to github/gitlab/whereever. Both Plone and Askbot can provide that, but the Askbot experience is much simpler because of e.g. OAuth login, distributed moderation, discussion/mini-wiki being available. So, I wouldnt want to block on solving the source-hosting problem for now and leave it for later. Lets solve the basic UX first. > Another big question is about development.

I think this is the key here: So far, Andi being a lone warrior here has been the limiting factor -- not by lack of skill, but by being alone. If there are multiple people willing to work on this with Plone, that is great. But at this point, I would not want to turn down a solution based on e.g. Askbot if that shows more prospect.
