Looks like Google is determined to make maintaining open source extensions for Chrome/Chromium an utterly demoralizing experience.
Updates to extensions that have been published for years being rejected for critical bugfixes with robo-rejection emails, no way to reach a human. One forum, not really advertised anywhere, is getting flooded with developer requests:
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!forum/chromium-extensions
Welp, after republishing without any changes it finally went through. Looking forward to the next roll of the dice. :/
@eloquence Ugh :(
