 In
 [https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/8148/8148.2.patch
 8148.2.patch], I'm suggesting to make things easier as a first step. The
 patch is simply adding a new patch to the Add Plugins WP Admin Screen to
 list the features as plugin such as the BP Rewrites (which should be ready
 a bit before our 10.0.0 release. Here's a screenshot of how it looks:

 The trick to have our plugins/blocks populate the list is to use the
 [https://profiles.wordpress.org/buddypress/ `buddypress` WP.org account]
 to favorite them. Unfortunately the Plugins API is not providing an
 "include" argument. The benefit of using favorites will be that we'll be
 able to update the list without updating BuddyPress.

 @johnjamesjacoby could you use this account to favorite
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-beta-tester/ BP Beta Tester] so that we
 can have 1 plugin into the list 😉 ?

 We'll probably need to create a specific page on the codex to explain what
 is a feature as a plugin copying
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/features/ this one's text] for example.
