This is similar to what Safari does for their extensions, as a policy it sounds reasonable. However, the part about the possibility of manual review if automated checks fail is alarming.

I self distribute my extension because I found the AMO process to be infuriating. The extension would pass review then not pass and require changes. Each step in the process requires a multi-week wait in a queue. Unanswered requests for clarification, lost communications, etc, etc. After months of trying I gave up, I know I am not alone in this. The possibility of having to go back into that Kafka-esque maze is extremely disconcerting.

The manual review possibility should also be a concern of all current AMO users, as it has the potential to lengthen current queue wait times.
