 I'm experiencing an issue where some plugins that are listed under a
 particular author are not appearing in the Plugin API (query_plugins) when
 querying that same author.

 For example, this API request:
 https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.2/?per_page=50&action=query_plugins&author=woocommerce

 Returns a single page of results, containing 35 plugins.

 However, I believe this query should also be listing the `woocommerce-
 gateway-affirm` plugin.

 This API request shows that the `author` field on this plugin is set to
 `woocommerce`:
 https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.2/?action=plugin_information&slug
 =woocommerce-gateway-affirm

 I'm aware that outdated plugins that have not been updated for a while (10
 years I think?) are excluded from the API results, but that does not apply
 to this plugin and there is no other obvious reason for the exclusion.
