Comment (by Otto42):

 In my testing, this is not the case.

 For the example file, it specifically doesn't like "=== Plugin Name ==="
 and this is intentional, since we expect authors to change the plugin name
 line in their readme, so the parser fails for that specifically. It also
 complains about the Contributors line not having valid ID's in it. Once
 you make those changes, then it passes.

 For Hello Dolly, it doesn't complain about the tested up to line. Instead,
 it says these:

 The Requires PHP field is missing. It should be defined here, or in your
 main plugin file.
 No == Frequently Asked Questions == section was found
 No == Changelog == section was found
 No == Upgrade Notice == section was found
 No == Screenshots == section was found
 No donate link was found

 All of which are true.
