Comment:

 Officially, the WordPress.org API's are for consumption by WordPress
 itself only, and 3rd-party clients are supported in a best-effort manner.

 What benefit would a schema provide to them? Other than documenting the
 properties contents? As the output of the API may change (in a backwards-
 compatible manner) at any time with an update to the schema.

 > Most notably a "url" field was in the API, but is seemingly no longer
 exists.

 A 'url' field has never been present as far as I know.
 I suspect this is a copy-paste error in the documentation from another
 API.


 The underlying data endpoint for the plugin endpoint is here:
