Re: New plugins site - what do you want to see?
Yeah, we need to look into a GraphQL plugin. Promoted category could be handled by smd_featured, BTW. And yeah, I omitted stuff about bios. Effectively, a one-time author setup with a link to their external repo could be all we need.

That does sound OK if I understand correctly that it will only provide a notification to the (admin) user that a plugin has been updated. IOW no automatic updating at all. the user should still go fetching the plugin file and go through the install routine.
On the main subject of this thread, not much to add that others already noted. Thank for trying to modernise that plugin site.

Abso-bloody-lutely! Auto-update is the devil’s tool. I would like to offer at minimum:
- A link to the plugin’s page – either on the plugin repo or author-nominated third-party location.
- One click direct access to the plugin .txt file (if available) which will download and extract its contents and present it to you for verification, exactly as if you’d pasted it into the Install plugin box and clicked Upload on the Admin->Plugins panel. Thus, you still have the option of bailing out if you don’t want to complete the update process.
