I self-nominated an extension for the Featured badge and got the standard denial: "unable to review your extension as it is access restricted and/or not available freely."
My extension is a client for a self-hosted service, so I get why they couldn't test it.
I replied to the thread with a public demo instance and credentials so they can actually try it.
Does the CWS dev support team actually re-review after you reply with access like that?
Thanks in advance!
