[TYPO3-v4] New vs "Old" Extension Manager

Unless I have missed it, having the EM as a Forge project sounds as a good idea to gain visibility 
across the community and also to get the chance to have more people getting involved.

+1 for that

Also, I wish we can precise the scope of the Extension Manager for the future and define the large 
picture. Currently, it is unclear the extend of the goals and I would second Tolleiv's concern here 
(cf. above) in the regard the EM does to many things.

A good start would be to write User Stories to define the requirements of the module.
