Comment (by joostdevalk):

 This is all hanging on the plugin API.

 Currently, the result to the update API check (
 `https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/update-check/1.1/` ) would have a
 `plugins` key with an array of plugins that have an update, and a
 `no_update` key with an array of plugins that do not have an update. I'd
 suggest adding a `closed` key and moving plugins that have been closed to
 there.

 Then, for each plugin in that `closed` array, we could set a `reason` that
 could be one of the few types of closures we have, and we should increase
 the counter on the plugins menu item by one for each.
