I suggest a new server, tracker_addon_host (or maybe
tracker_addon_server) which hosts these add-ons, the same way the
media_addon_server does for media_server.

That's always the problem with add-ons, though, and applies to almost
every component in the system, as we make heavy use of add-ons.
However, Tracker add-ons have rarely been a problem in this area, so
while the current Tracker API would allow for solving this without too
much effort, I think we have bigger fish to fry.
And let's just fix that crash, no matter where it comes from. Given
the plans for TrackGit (icon overlays comes to mind) there will be a
need for deeper customization of Tracker, which makes sandboxing
difficult at least for some parts of the code.
A future Tracker will definitely allow add-ons that go much further,
also providing views as alternative to BPoseView. This would make
putting them into a separate add-on host very impractical; that
functionality could then only be used by some add-ons.
Bye,
Axel.
