Re: [libreoffice-website] [Bug 59367] New: EXTENSIONSWEBSITE: a warning about outdated is showed for mature extensions

If the extension has been on the site for over a year, like mine was, 
the system seems to think it is no longer supported.  I kept updating 
the file, but did not change the version number, since the file updates 
were very minor.  So I re-updated the files with a new major version 
number.  [it took time to figure out how to do that properly]  The next 
update may not be for 4 to 6 months, or more, so hopefully the "not 
supported" and "outdated" messages could be fixed.

I know some extensions may be completely mature to the point there 
really cannot be any "real" updates or work done on them, except test 
them out on the new major versions of LO.
