Extiverse is confusing

RelicSystem

The example I opted to use was the Mason one by FOF which now has 4 near identical entries - I have no idea why separate entries for the same extension exist

full translation of the extension?
are these extensions for extensions?
are they forks? if so why do they all use the same discuss link and make no mention of forks

Why do they all use the FOF tag as a prefix, FOF is a team so I figure it would fall under the same principles of naming an extension probably should i.e Flarum Blog = bad, Blog for Flarum = good

I know that work is ongoing internally within Flarum to bring all the projects better together but for now I'm not sure I can trust the Extiverse, seems harsh, sucks to say and Im sorry in advance for any offence to those that work hard on that side of the project.

A few other extensions have this issue where they appear to be the same but it's hard to tell who the current and correct author is (or if it's a fork) example Log in with Microsoft.

RelicSystem someone forked the extension, and those also get published. Everything that is available on packaigst is automatically picked up. The original one (that is still active) is the one published by FoF.

There's a couple of things here:

Someone forked Mason and used the flarum-extensions vendor. I will send an email to Jordi from Packagist to get that removed immediately as our trademark prohibits exactly using our name to this end. The fact that it slipped past us is because a system to report the use of our name in packages, was introduced only later.
There used to be some logic in Extiverse that would block blatant forks. But there were moments that this would also block valid forks. As such that logic was disabled.
The index/listing shows the author/vendor, the detail page does not. The new website shows this information on the detail page too.
Extiverse has an outdated design that could do with some TLC, but as you've said we're working on the new website which merges Extiverse into a new platform. All efforts as such go elsewhere.
