------------------------------+--------------------
 First let me say: NO, we don't want to support plugins changing their
 slugs. This is super-complicated and out-of-scope of this ticket.

 Plugins can currently have their slug changed prior to being approved, but
 once approved the team has no ability to change the slug. This is because
 it's at this point where the SVN directory is created, SVN access is
 granted, etc.

 It would be useful if there was a tool that allowed a plugin reviewer to
 force-change a plugin slug in that approved stage, before the author
 commits code. This is sometimes needed as authors don't attempt to let the
 reviewer know their desired slug until too late, or, something happens on
 our end that causes the slug not to be set properly.

 ie, it'd be a tool that works in the below 'approved' post_status:
  - pending: New plugin submission, slug can be changed at will by
 reviewer.
  - approved: Plugin submission approved, slug can no longer be changed.
  - publish: Plugin author has committed code, slug changes are never
 permitted.
