Note that Ludovic has also published a proposal for extensions.xwiki.org here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWikiExtensionRepositoryRedesign
It's quite similar but Ludovic's proposal is in between the proposal below and the extension manager proposal. From the proposal below it adds the ability to register one's wiki and adds more fields. I believe this can be added later on. Other fields can also be added later on; right now I'd like to keep it very simple on purpose (the more fields there are the more complex it is to add new entries).
