Comment (by dd32):

 Part of me thinks this won't actually help, as all submitters say they've
 read the handbook, and well, obviously they haven't fully grokked it if
 they have (Based on reviewing the code that's often submitted).

 For many developers, simply ''telling'' them to verify it isn't good
 enough, unless you '''specifically''' point out the code in question of
 theirs that is lacking it.

 Even the best developers will miss some best practices sometimes, that's
 half the point of reviews.

 Most developers are also submitting their plugin ''after'' developing it,
 not during, as a result reminding them ''at submission time'' doesn't seem
 like it'll be hitting them at the right time, unless you can tell them
 ''you're doing it wrong! '' right then and there.

 While I'm not ''against'' adding such a notice, I question if it'll
 achieve the intended goals. In my opinion, encouraging testing using
 https://github.com/WordPress/plugin-check would be a better way forward,
 although we currently don't suggest it because it's not yet "released".
