 Sometimes plugins get closed without plugin authors being aware - such as
 when their email bounces, or their email address goes to a place where the
 author doesn't monitor. The plugin author usually then emails with a "Huh?
 Why didn't I get told?" or "Sooo I just found out my email was broken..
 what do I do?", requiring plugin reviewers to then explain it to the
 author.

 In those cases, and many others, it would be beneficial to to be able to
 add a persistent notification at the top of their plugins page explaining
 it to them.

 This could be used both when the plugin is closed, or as a not-so-gentle
 reminder of "Please stop doing XYZ".

 In the future, it could be extended to also be actionable alerts, but the
 PR I'm about to attach is a one-way communication method.
