We would need some solr expert to make this happen. The compatible versions 
are already available in each version record as json inside a field.
We would need someone who can adapt the indexing configuration and more 
important the list template (the TER list is always a solr search result).

Same as above. There is already a field for this (AFAIK). Although this on 
is not yet actively filled. But since we have a messaging queue now, we 
could wait for docs.typo3.org and fill the field once a documentation is 
rendered. Therefore would could add this to the solr index configuration 
again and adapt the template (needs a solr guy).

It just needs someone to do it :)

Anyway with the next deployment (or at least the once after that) we will 
get the outdated extensions filter and a job that marks extensions as 
outdated once they do not support at least one actively maintained version.
e.g. 4.3-4.6 is valid because of 4.5; 4.6-4.6 is not valid any more, etc.

Best regards
