Sorry for the thread bump, but I think I made one of those niche apps. The problem I run into is that votes are at 0 for every new version.

So let's say my app's got 7 votes after a long while, and I (or one of the testers) notice a bug that really needs to be fixed. I upload a new version, promote it to testing, and all those precious votes are gone
I don't want to harrass the testers to look into it again, of course..

I do understand that a version 0.3 can be safe, and that a version 0.3.1 might murder kittens, even though it looks like a bugfix to 0.3.

But this way, niche apps will indeed never reach Extras, not when updates are released on a regular basis (while updating and fixing should be encouraged).

Any thoughts on this?
