Comment (by davidperez):

 Hello,
 We discussed this topic and agreed that providing information about the
 closed plugin would be a good enhancement.

 The problem we see is showing the cause of that closure. After 60 days, an
 author could discover the reason, and disclosing security issues could be
 problematic. We already do this on the website, so we don't think it will
 be an issue, but it will get much more visibility if we consider it.
