Featured badge silently removed after trying to protect my IP with a DMCA

[Lasso]

Hello Chromium Extensions Community,

I am writing to request some guidance or a manual review regarding a sudden, silent loss of the Featured badge for my extension. I have been maintaining this extension in good standing for almost 3 years, and it has held Featured since Dec 29, 2023.

A bit of background.  Recently, I had to file a DMCA takedown on the google play store against a mobile app developer who plagiarized my original extension code. Shortly after filing the notice, my extension's Featured badge was silently removed.

I want to emphasize that my developer dashboard remains completely green with zero policy violations, and I received no automated enforcement emails regarding this change. Because of this, I suspect my extension may have been caught in an automated loop or flagged by an algorithmic filter due to the active legal dispute, despite being the original author and the injured party.

I completely understand and respect the strict criteria required to hold a Featured badge. Given that my extension has a clean 3 year history and this happened immediately following an IP defense action, I would be incredibly grateful if a member of the DevRel team could take a look or point me in the right direction to get this reviewed manually.

Thank you very much for your time and for all your work on the Chromium ecosystem.

Michael
