Ok, correction:
It does show some extensions from extensions.gnome.org, but it's just a
subset. In my case, Software shows 55 extensions in total (both from
RPMs and extensions.gnome.org) compared to ~190 on the website. Is
there any filter?

What I find utterly confusing is that if the extension comes from the
Fedora repositories Software says that the source is unknown. This
should definitely be fixed because how can the user know that the
extension comes from us and not from some random place on the Internet?
