Description

Following a proposal by Xavier Perseguers, Helmut Hummel and Jigal van Hemert in early 2012 to make the TYPO3 dependency mandatory for all extensions in order to identify outdated/unmaintained extensions, the Extension Manager should force the user to set the TYPO3 dependency when uploading an extension to TER.

See "TER Cleanup" initiative at:
http://lists.typo3.org/pipermail/typo3-team-extension-coordination/2012-February/003955.html

(quote) New versions of extensions need to have a dependency on TYPO3 for at least the lowest currently supported branch. When uploading an extension this dependency must be checked and missing or too low dependencies must be rejected

In order to encourage users to provide the information about the TYPO3 dependency, the EM should allow (force?) the user to state the min and max TYPO3 version, e.g. "4.0.0 to 6.0.999" (if this information does not exist in "ext_emconf").
