Thanks for raising this and for your patience. We’re not ignoring anyone on purpose, it’s more that reviewing and approving extensions is a bit of a chore that’s not directly funded by any actively funded project so there can be a backlog.

We are a bit cautious because accepting extensions probably implies to some people that we “vouch” for the code in some way, but of course we can’t know exactly what all the code is doing and we don’t perform any kind of developer vetting the way something like the Apple or Microsoft stores would do.

We plan to discuss this on Tuesday’s developer call. There’s a thread here with some ideas about how we might be able to make the process easier for everyone.

> Here’s something we can discuss at the next meeting: [Add a feature to make it easy to install extension PRs · Issue #2341 · Slicer/ExtensionsIndex · GitHub](https://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex/issues/2341) BTW, maybe we should have a “next meeting” thread dedicated to posting agenda items for upcoming developer calls. Currently we post back to the meeting announcement, but sometimes, like this, I want to make a note in advance.
