 Once the [https://github.com/WordPress/plugin-check/ Plugin Check plugin
 (PCP)] is released, we should add a checkbox to the plugin submission form
 requiring plugin authors to confirm that they have self-checked their own
 plugins using the PCP.

 The content of the check box could be something like this:

 > □ I have checked my plugin using the [https://wordpress.org/plugins
 /plugin-check-plugin/ Plugin Check plugin] and fixed all issues and
 errors. (If you have done this and think you are seeing a false positive,
 please contact us at plugins at wordpress.org before submitting your plugin.)

 If their plugin has not passed the check but they think this is a false
 positive, I think it makes sense to provide an alternative route but I am
 worried it might get abused. What do you think?

 Down the road, I would like to have a system to check plugins
 automatically as part of the submissions process but, for now, this is a
 good first step.
