This required well over 10,000 lines of code across several project repositories. This work was part of a series of related Addon Store projects: migrating and creating server infrastructure and a submission process for add-ons. The pull request to NVDA was developed over 2 years and over 4000 lines of code.

Now that it has been merged, it has also enabled the community to easily contribute to further Add-on Store development. However, this merge is a major milestone of the project. This feature is still in alpha – meaning there are few known issues remaining and community alpha testing is ongoing.

The Add-on Store will replace add-on manager. This means it is staged for the release of NVDA 2023.2. The much awaited Add-on Store was merged to the main NVDA branch and released via NVDA alpha last week.
