Should be done by community/admin. Idea is to somehow flag extensions that are
not working properly and archive in case of inactivity. Seems Bjoern has the
same opinion in comment 4.

> Create and maintain a list of broken extensions / plugins.
Requires to know what "broken" means. Could be for a certain and perhaps
outdated version, one platform only, a special system theme etc.

> Then if a user wants to install such a broken extension...
Would rather remove/hide it on the platform.

Putting all together I don't see need to fix something on the code. 
@Moaz: If you want to work on the extensions, we have many topics at the
platform https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/projects/extensions
(Silverstripe/Python) and some open bits from last year's GSoC at bug 133026.
You are very welcome to work on this topic.

This has been renamed to checkDenylist().
