This is an important point in my opinion: how do you avoid that numerous add-on on AMO are not compatible with latest release of Thunderbird and that you should use a link given in comment to find someone you have release an updated version.<br>
Good example here: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/fg-printers/">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/fg-printers/</a><br>This is totally unsecure as user can be pointed to any bad add-on!<br>
<br>There should be some way to avoid this kind of situation.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/7/11 Ludovic Hirlimann <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ludovic@mozilla.com" target="_blank">ludovic@mozilla.com</a>></span><br>

Which leads me to a question that's been bouncing around in my head for a while. Just as mozilla has found a way to withdraw resources from Thunderbird without totally abandoning the users, what options do addon developers have if they'd like to go down a similar route?<br>

One thing you can do is publish the source code in the hopes someone will join forces and maintain the addon with you.<br>
<br>
It's been done in the past see <a href="https://github.com/fabricedesre/bugmail" target="_blank">https://github.com/<u></u>fabricedesre/bugmail</a><br>
