What most likely happened was a maintainer thought it would be a good idea to put a particular addon in Fedora repo so they went through the process to get it approved, etc. AFAIK once a package is there, it's up to the particular maintainer to keep it up-to-date. If they don't, a proven packager may or may not step up to the task. There isn't a litmus test on whether or not a package "is worthy" - and I personally don't believe that would be appropriate anyway. To be honest, I wasn't aware until recently that any addons had been packaged - and of the ones that are, I don't use any of them. What you could do is open up a bugzilla for the addons which are causing an issue and request that they be updated or removed. The maintainer should have been aware of the webextension situation and taken the appropriate actions. It's not like this was a surprise.
