If I am correct, we are supposed to ask our chrome ext dev questions on stackoverflow, but a quick scan of the most recent questions shows that about half have not been answered and that gets worse the farther back you go. 

Can we get some insight here? Where should we post to get help?

My question:

Stack Overflow is indeed the most appropriate place to get support for extension/app development questions, but the number of frequent  answerers is relatively low (3 regulars in the extension tags including me, plus others). The answers are usually of high quality though. So if your question shows sufficient efforts and attempts of understanding and solving the problem, then you'll probably get an answer.

Kind regards,

The extensions team does have a weekly Stack Overflow rotation, but your observation is legitimate; we could do a better job. I'll send a note to the team.

Generally, though, Rob's comment is correct: high-quality, nonduplicative questions do tend to get answered. Moreover the team's goal is not to ensure that every question asked is answered.
