Detect extension owner change

[spacedingo]

Nice extension by the way.
Would it be possible to detect change of owner, aside from the usual changelogs? Found a chrome extension which does a great function. https://github.com/classvsoftware/under-new-management?tab=readme-ov-file

Yes, this should be possible. The addons details API has an authors field, which returns an array of the extension's authors. We can just save a copy of the authors array and check if it's changed when an update happens.

Example of the authors array from https://addons.mozilla.org/api/v4/addons/addon/changelogger@r01/

Knowing whether the owner changed is good from an online security perspective, for the changelogger extension. +1 for safety
