That is an interesting and important question. One way would be to have one sub menu named
"Available Add-Ons" which is updated automatically from the official Add-On repository.
When one entry is selected, the extension manager could be opened to make installation easy.
And in the menu, it could be reflected which ones are already installed.

Just an idea,

Cheers
