Test accounts are indeed available. Oh, that reminds me of something else: A while ago the admins went through and purged accounts from the extensions site. IIRC I didn't have any specific concerns about the procedure at the time, although I had a niggling concern in the back of my head that I was missing something. What I think I was missing was that a user account is necessary for up/downvoting. As such, we shouldn't purge accounts, or at least not purge any accounts that have been used for voting or etc.. > >From a support point of view I feel it would also be good to enforce visible > contact details for extension publishers.

Along with contact details for developers, we should have clear documentation for how to report bugs re: extensions. We've fumbled along in QA for quite some time, and we need to make that workflow simpler.
