 There's a contributors array, but its current format doesn't lend itself
 to having more data added to it, and would therefore need to be changed. I
 see the API is versioned (http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/), so
 maybe we can leverage that to not get into backwards compatibility issues.

 {{{
 ["contributors"]=>
   array(5) {
     ["michael-arestad"]=>
     string(0) ""
     ["stephdau"]=>
     string(33) "//profiles.wordpress.org/stephdau"
     ["georgestephanis"]=>
     string(40) "//profiles.wordpress.org/georgestephanis"
     ["folletto"]=>
     string(33) "//profiles.wordpress.org/folletto"
     ["melchoyce"]=>
     string(34) "//profiles.wordpress.org/melchoyce"
   }
 }}}

 Or we could instead have a 'gravatars' array, also using the contrib's
 username as a key.

 Will talk about that with the core crew who maintains the wp.org side of
 the API to confirm what's best.

 Is there any other plugins data you thought would need exposing while
 playing around?
 Things you see displayed on the plugins directory, but not in the modal
 (and that make sense to be there).
