Hi, due to previous efforts we have a pretty good appdata coverage of apps themselves, but add-ons (plugins, extensions,...) lag far behind. There are dozens of useful GUI app add-ons in Fedora repositories which don't have metadata files and are not exposed to users in GNOME Software. Let's focus on them.
The goal of this iniciative is to have a metadata file for every useful add-on (for a GUI app) that is in Fedora repositories, so that those add-ons appear in app profiles in Software and are easily discoverable and installable for users.

What about gnome-shell-extensions ?
Hi Jens, the plan is to integrate GNOME Shell extensions in Software (all, not only the ones that are packaged) because Mozilla is going to discontinue support for NPAPI plugins which will also affect the GNOME Shell Integration plugin and make it impossible to install extensions via extensions.gnome.org. There is some initial discussion about it, but it's a different inicitiave because it requires more than just writing metafiles and GNOME Shell extensions are not app add-ons.
