 There is currently a banner on any plugin that hasn't been updated in two
 years. We should be able to add related plugins to this section to guide
 the user in a better direction.

 This is for: https://wordpress.org/plugins/email/ (chosen randomly)

 This screenshot also shows a "Search for other plugins." link which just
 links to the search page at https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/email/
 (just using the plugin's slug as a search string). Not great, but it is
 easy. Eventually we could have a page at /plugins/SLUG/related that we
 link to instead.

 This search link could use some CSS/Design help/ideas/language.

 The algorithm for related plugins isn't figured out yet (the above
 screenshot was hard coded with plugin IDs selected based on search), but
 this should be a pretty easy query to build.

 The downside to this approach is that it pushes the main plugin down the
 page a lot, but by reusing the existing search cards it is pretty easy to
 implement.
