The browser vendors would love to get real feedback on the kinds of fine-grained hypothetical privileges that extensions authors would actually find useful. Otherwise they're stuck reading the source code of a small sample of extensions, and extrapolating general patterns of privilege-use from there.)

I'm curious, where are people supposed to do this? Is there actually a space / mechanism for this? Or is this a thing they would "like" to exist that there's not really an avenue for?

I think the avenue is "writing a blog post, posting it on HN, and having enough people agree with you that it'll stick around on the front page for long enough to expect some Chrome/Safari/Mozilla developer to see it."
