 Currently on plugin submissions we collect:
  - Zip file
  - [https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/add/ Basic checks that they
 understand what they're doing]

 That's it, and we then infer everything from that, or ask for it via
 e-mail afterwards.

 Unfortunately there are some things we can't reliably infer from that,
 such as:
  - If they want a specific plugin slug
  - If the plugin is a Block Plugin and should be auto-submitted to that
 upon approval.
  - If the plugin is commercial in nature (Ie. should be in our Commercial
 Supported section)
  - If the plugin is a Community plugin (Ie. is accepting of community
 submissions via a public code repository and will never be commercialised)

 The plugin slug is a hard question to ask before submission, as ideally
 we'd pre-fill it with a slug based on their submission.

 So perhaps this needs to be done as a post-ZIP-submission step where they
 can update some details after they've passed through the pre-checks of the
 uploader.
