 As a plugin reviewer, when checking in the "Edit plugin" page a plugin
 that has release confirmations activated and the author pushed an update
 to the SVN without confirming or being able to confirm it.

 Sometimes I do mistakes cause I don't notice that the plugin has pending
 release confirmations. Currently there is a metabox to check for this but
 it uses to be long and normally is out of sight for the reviewer.

 This happens, as example, when:
 - Responding to a request for a published plugin that the author forgot
 about, or have problems confirming the release.
 - Reviewing closed/disabled plugins as they cannot approve their own
 releases, so those need to be managed by the reviewer.

 The proposal is to somehow warn the reviewer about a pending release
 confirmation in the edit plugin page.

 Idea 1:
 A notice in the top of the page. Showing that the plugin has a release
 confirmation pending and ideally buttons to confirm or discard it.

 Idea 2:
 A warning in the Plugin Controls metabox "⚠️ Has a pending release
 confirmation" linked to the "Plugin Release Confirmation" metabox.
