Comment (by eclev91):

 @dd32 What has historically been the process by which that API is updated
 and versioned?

 I assume the first steps here would be to outline what changes would be
 required to the result schema. At minimum, I think adding a `status` field
 that is simply text would be a good start. But that could also be an array
 including some kind of status shorthand/slug, a human-readable message,
 and an effective date if applicable.

 Without more information about how the back end of the plugin repository
 and existing API work, it's hard to propose anything firmer, and nothing
 on which to base a PR.
