Proposal: a unified developer appeal on Add-on review times

Re: Very long extension moderation process

This growing thread (500+ comments) shows a critical community pain point. As developers, the collective trust and time are on the line. Would fellow add-on creators be open to a coordinated, respectful appeal to Opera? Perhaps a shared document summarizing the impact, or a polite tag of community managers in a single follow-up post? A unified, professional voice from builders might be the catalyst needed for a systemic fix.

If we can't upload new add-ons from the Opera add-on store, why does the add-on store exist?

I understand @erdinc53 but seems there is something with your addon because our calculator Calcatom has been approved this afternoon.

Can you share your journey with us maybe someone can help?

We should appreciate Opera moderators' work in checking the source code.

@Nearmelab They kept my 50-line(!) code add-on on hold for a year. I got annoyed too and deleted it.

I think we all seek benefits and Opera has valuable initiatives by providing all these tools for free.

I don't work for them, @erdinc53 . Just in case we can help I invite you to share addons details maybe we can give feedback on what is missing in all sides.

I think in case we provide something valuable and clean enough for end users why Moderators will omit it.

@Nearmelab I deleted all my pending add-ons. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox approve instantly. There's no reason left for me to publish it in the Opera store.

Can you share with us some of your extensions in other stores?

@Nearmelab Sure. Under the same names in other stores.

Thanks, @erdinc53. I found Next space launch addon very interesting and useful but I invite you to follow guidance to respect all rules mentioned by moderator i.e the screenshot should be on Opera browser which I don't find in your addon at Chrome store!

See our browser calculator Calcatom screenshot which respects that, I remind you and my self that following rules where those are useful with benefits and make addons store status stable and with good UX for users is a good origin.
