[TYPO3-core] Feature #11074: Add more information to the list of extensions in EM import mode (extension upload date, description and author name)

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi,

> Problem:
> ATM the extension manager list in import mode shows only extension key,
> title, version, DL counter and state. Choosing the right extension is
> not easy, more information would be helpful.
> (see screenshot EM_before.png in the bugtracker)
> 
> Solution:
> Adding new fields: date of upload, author name
> Add description as a title property of the extension title
> To reduce the width of the table, description is encapsulated in the
> title property of the extension title.
> (see screenshot EM_after.png in the BT)
> 
> Notes:
> I am aware that there are a lot of more things which could be enhanced
> in the EM. This patch is as tiny as my spare time is ATM. Of course
> users could find all that information in TER on typo3.org. But I think
> EM should also deliver these fields.

+1 for the idea, however I guess you should not hard-code %Y-%m-%d as 
date format but use the configured backend date format which may be 
changed from Install Tool.
