Comment:

 Closing as wontfix.

 The ticket was a bit unclear as to what status beyond that which is
 already displayed was being requested. Via the linked Slack chat log, it
 seems the desire was to expose a particular plugin's specific position in
 the queue.

 For the reasons @dd32 mentioned in the linked Slack log, as well as
 others, there isn't much value in this. Knowing the position of a plugin
 in the queue doesn't provide any indication as to how long it will be
 before that plugin is reviewed and/or approved. There are too many
 variable factors, chief of which are the availability of the plugin
 reviewers and how much effort happens to be involved in processing the
 plugins tackled by the reviewers during any given session. An initial
 review generally happens within a few days, so it isn't a drawn out
 process.
