That's very useful!

Perhaps you could just hide the "additional components" section altogether
until it is implemented? The "install" button is now grayed out no matter what
I highlight, which makes it clear that it is disabled, but it still a bit
confusing.

So once the functionality is implemented, will that statuses still say
"Available" or "Missing Dependencies"? Does "available" mean that the component
is "available to install" or "available to use"? Perhaps you could use the
simpler "installed" and "not installed" states? Finally, if it says "missing
dependencies" does that mean that they are not currently installed, but that
they *can* be installed for you? Or that they are not currently installed
gpodder has does not know how to install them?

Finally, is there any reason for using the language "additional components"
over "plugins"? "Additional components" seems to imply that the components
differ some way in what you think of as a traditional "plugin", although I
don't see any such difference?

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my feedback. Please keep up the
wonderful work you are doing with gpodder!
