Comment:

 First issue that comes to mind is that we don't currently really ''know''
 that an email **has** been sent to the dev when the plugin was moved to
 `pending`.

 I'm assuming that most reviewers set it to pending before the email is
 sent.

 Looking at the current queue tells me this is not worth the effort though:

 || Total authors in Pending + New|| 1,354 ||
 || Authors with a Slack account || 144 ||
 || Requested a Slack invite,[[br]] and not signed in || 10 ||

 Realistically, the issue is that most plugins get submitted from brand-new
 accounts these days, even if the author has a long-term account, they tend
 to create a dedicated plugin account (Whether this is to work around the
 one-plugin-in-review-per-account, trademark/ownership rules, or just basic
 ownership issues, idk).

 Moving this to `low` due to the low level of impact this seems like it'll
 have, `Plugin Directory` since this primarily concerns the plugin
 directory.
