(under my account by AwalGarg's request [0])

The Chrome store requires a flat fee to upgrade one's account to "uploader", which helps keep (some) spam out. AwalGarg (the fellow who built this) is a friend of mine and comes from a traditionally poor part of the world. I've contacted him about paying for the fee to see if we can get this on the Chrome Store proper.

You are awesome :-) thank you so much for doing that for both the developer, and the rest of us!

If the fee is to stop spam, it would be great if Google would consider upgrading the accounts of folks like AwalGarg for free.

Speaking of extensions, and I know this is off-topic, but I found an extension written by a Google team that implements OpenPG facilities for Gmail, but though it looks pretty complete they still say it's incomplete. What would we need to do to get them to finish this? I work for a large company that extensively uses Google for Business, in particular Gmail, and whilst Google has end-to-end encryption and facilities like Google Drive and Google Docs, I'd still like to be able to easily sign and encrypt my email!
