 == Issue

 The list of plugins that an author has contributed to in this view:

 https://profiles.wordpress.org/username/#content-plugins

 ...appears to be missing those where the author name in the plugin's
 readme.txt is set to @username instead of just username.

 For example:

 https://profiles.wordpress.org/wordpressdotorg/#content-plugins

 ...is missing this plugin:

 https://wordpress.org/plugins/create-block-theme/

 From that plugin's readme:


 {{{
 Author: @wordpressdotorg
 }}}


 == Potential Solution

 Could we consider accommodating the @username format for the plugin's
 authors / contributors, as it is probably a common oversight to include
 the @

 Compare the previous list with the fuller list here, which ''does''
 include Create Block Theme:

 https://wordpress.org/plugins/author/wordpressdotorg/

 Hat tip to @ryelle / ryelle :) for spotting the issue and suggesting a
 tweak to account for this format.
