Chrome Extension Repeatedly Rejected with Yellow Nickel

[Nate Finch]

This is a pretty simple extension that isn't at all nefarious. 

It just calls an API from one site to inject some helpful info into a second site's right click menu.

The yellow nickel rejection is for "spam and store placement"...  but I can't figure out why.  I really wish it would just tell you specifically what the problem is and why it thinks that.  Because it really doesn't make any sense to me.

The code is here if anyone wants to look: https://github.com/natefinch/moxtags

There's a design overview doc here: https://github.com/natefinch/moxtags/blob/main/DESIGN.md

Here's all the Yellow Nickel criteria and why they don't at all apply to my extension.

Repetitive Content: We don't allow any developer or their affiliates to submit multiple extensions that provide duplicate experiences or functionality on the Chrome Web Store.

• This is my first extension ever, so it can't be repeated.

Keyword Spam: We don't allow extensions with misleading, improperly formatted, non-descriptive, irrelevant, excessive, or inappropriate metadata, including but not limited to the extension's description, developer name, title, icon, screenshots, and promotional images. Developers must provide a clear and well-written description. We also don't allow unattributed or anonymous user testimonials in the Product's description.

• There's no keywords in the description at all. It's just a normal english description of what it does. I even tried to remove repeated words in case those were triggering this.

User Ratings, Reviews, and Installs: Developers must not attempt to manipulate the placement of any extensions in the Chrome Web Store. This includes, but is not limited to, inflating Product ratings, reviews, or install counts by illegitimate means, such as fraudulent or incentivized downloads, reviews and ratings.

• It's not published so this is impossible, but it also doesn't like, ask the user to rate it or anything. It doesn't show any messages to the user at all.

Functionality: Do not post an extension with a single purpose of installing or launching another app, theme, webpage, or extension. Extensions with broken functionality - such as dead sites or non-functioning features - are not allowed.

• It doesn't install anything or launch anything and it works on an existing site.

Notification Abuse: We do not allow extensions that abuse, or are associated with abuse, of notifications by sending spam, ads, promotions, phishing attempts, or unwanted messages that harm the user's browsing experience.

• It doesn't have ads or promotions or send notifications or anything. It literally just updates a right click menu. That's it.

Message Spam: We don't allow extensions that send messages on behalf of the user without giving the user the ability to confirm the content and intended recipients.

• It doesn't send any messages on behalf of the user ... unless it counts making API calls to an unauthenticated, public API?

Any help would be appreciated!

I did submit a help ticket but I don't know how long it'll take for a real person to get back to me, and if they'll actually be helpful.

I'm happy to change things if I've done something wrong, but I really can't imagine what it is.
