Sounds right, this is intentional.

would be good to add a page at that location that the developer feature is taken
offline and is expected to be online again at .....

what's happened? too many submissions? Maybe instead of a 403 error some kind of
short update or explanation might be nice :)

I would like to know more about that : the update-beta.m.o worked nice. 
Where can one find an explanation, or a plan for the future ?
I like the idea to administrate my extensions' pages and to update versions
(otherwise I dunno how it is done : waiting for a long time since I send the bug
of a new version for EditCSS... still waiting).
Does someone know something ? 
thx :o)

I'm not part of the staff, but my understanding is that when the update.m.o site
was upgraded to the new software version, some things were discovered that still
need work. When those features are finished, the developer section will be
enabled - hopefully in the next few weeks (personal guess).

Does changing the target milestone to 1.1 mean that this one does not get solved
before march? (I.e. when FF 1.1 gets released). That would be a pity, because
I'd like to update my extensions and themes. Also the fact that with assigned to
it says "Nobody's working on this, feel free to take it" suprises me.

Developer Control Panel now online again! [However, no email was sent to
registered authors to inform them of this }:-/ It's not like they don't have our
details, after all---I received an email (the day *after* the release of
Fx1.0.3) informing me that changes in the app may break my extension.]

Anyway, it all seems to work well, except for one thing. When viewing the
overview of an extension (the page where you can change the Developer's
Comments) there's a link to edit the main description of the extension.
Unfortunately, access is denied! Is this deliberate behaviour? What is the
rationale? How do we go about getting this description changed---do we still
have to file a bug like we used to?

That's bug 290633.

The developers section is now back live... any other issues relating to this
should probably be filed in a new bug.
