Comment (by pothi):

 Great idea!

   A simple way to help mitigate this would be to add a notice to the
 plugins and updates screens indicating if the remote contributor(s) differ
 from the locally-installed ones.

 We need to cover users who have enabled automatic plugin updates too.

 Also, the title could have been more generic such as "Notice: Plugin
 Contributor Change" instead of "Security Notice: Plugin Contributor
 Change".
