Comment (by dd32):

 Just noting that the underlying API is fairly stable; but the default
 returned parameters differ between API endpoint requested (version +
 action), some are dependant upon one another, others will be returned no
 matter what the client specifies, some are dependant upon the WP version,
 etc

 The API in question is bootstrapped by this code which manages the fields
 parameter:
 https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html
 /wp-content/plugins/plugin-directory/standalone/class-plugins-info-api-
 request.php

 The API may change in behaviour (including fields returned, and the format
 of them) if WordPress gracefully handles the new data (and in the case of
 extra fields, it's never an issue).
