Comment (by joostdevalk):

 When I discussed this with @ipstenu, she brought up that one of the
 concerns might be that when a plugin is updated again, it wouldn't be
 findable in Google. From my experience I can say that would probably take
 a week tops, and I think that's worth the risk of people finding unsafe
 plugins.

 Inherently because plugins are older, they have more and older links, so
 they outrank newer plugins that might be able to rank for the same
 keywords.
