Maybe as some kind of intermediate step - and maybe also as motivation 
to contribute - what do you think of the "valid until..." solution for 
recommendations?

I know several companies that require central documents or 
specifications to be reviewed once a year, meaning that the author or a 
distinct reviewer needs to take a look on it and is forced to decide 
between "still ok" or "needs to be changed".

Translated to extension voting: Each vote has a "last changed" date 
anyway. After one year, the voting account is required to either change 
the voting or to confirm that it is still valid. Votes that are overdue 
for more than 3 months are not counted anymore until they get renewed.

If the vote is not only a single "yes/no" decision, this could help to 
re-think things, maybe to spend some time into improvements (maybe a 
tutorial or so), and you have feedback for every second core release 
from any voter.

In the best of all worlds, the extension owner would get a small 
notification if an extension gets "downvoted" (and for what reason).

No matter how these things go on - thank you very much for all the work 
and for the feedback here!
