This is about adding support for a new top-level key in the manifest, named data_collection_permissions. Something like this:

Is there any particular reason this is only documented in Extension Workshop and not MDN and the BCD, see Missing browser_specific_settings.gecko.data_collection_permissions #41555 and webextensions.manifest.browser_specific_settings - data_collection_permissions #28211

There is no (good) reason besides the fact that this feature wasn't announced publicly yet (as generally available I mean). We can still fix these MDN/BCD bugs, though.
