AMO stopped being a reliable source to distribute new versions of add-ons. Reviewers stopped looking into "legacy" add-ons and bootstrapped/restartless add-ons, which are still valid in Thunderbird. AMOs focus shifted to crappy and powerless WebExtensions, which do not even have to be reviewed by humans. The shitty add-on validator is "enough" allowing everybody to install tons of spam and malicious WebExtensions. Good thing Thunderbird add-ons do not require the idiotic add-on signing likie Firefox, so users can just install files downloaded from Github. Additionally looking through add-on code on Github is easily possible compared to AMO and building own installation packages only requires a few steps (release page always offers the latest build too):
- download the whole repository or the content of xpi folder
- zip the content of xpi folder
- optionally rename ".zip" to ".xpi"
- install the file through Thunderbirds add-on manager
