 We have a released Plugin on Wordpress.org -
 http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flickr-thumbnails-photostream/ which
 has the following headers in the PHP script.


 {{{
 /*
 Plugin Name: Flickr Thumbnail Photostream
 Plugin URI: http://community.plus.net/open-source/
 Description: Generates a random selection of photo thumbnails from a given
 Flickr account.
 Version: 1.0.1
 Author: PlusNet Plc - Developer Responsible: James Tuck (Web Development
 Team)
 Author URI: http://community.plus.net/open-source/
 Copywrite: 2008 PlusNet plc
 */
 }}}


 We also have another two plugins which we use which aren't released, one
 of which has:

 {{{
 /*
 Plugin Name: Wordpress News Ticker
 Plugin URI: http://community.plus.net/open-source/
 Description: Displays a 'ticker' tape of items within your 'Blogroll' in
 the category 'Ticker'
 Version: 0.1
 Author: Colin Ogilvie
 Author URI: http://community.plus.net/
 */
 }}}


 as it's header.

 On checking my Plugins page, I'm alerted to an upgrade for the other two
 plugins, despite the fact that there is no way that api.wordpress.org
 could know about them (and there's not an update anyway).

 It would be useful if this could be fixed as it's very annoying.
