The intention to limit the number of contrib modules seems to be obvious 
because
community will have to support all this modules.

But it will be great to have some have some common "playground" for all 
Postgres extension, so that everybody can easily
look for available extensions, check their status: which Postgres 
version are supported, last update time, OS compatibility, author's 
contacts...
I think that it will be enough just to have common git repository for 
them + may be some rules/tools which simplify search of extensions.

 From my point of view if will be very helpful if such "PgExt Store" 
will be available.
May be such resources already exists, but I do not know about them.
There is the following page:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/products/6-postgresql-extensions/
but there are just 13 extension listed here. And I failed to add my 
product in it.

As author of several Postgres extensions, I very interesting in having 
some common
database of all available Postgres extension and be able to publish my  
extensions there.
