 submitted through a form. It is all done "programmatically", you might
 say. But yes, there should be some way for the plugin author to mark the
 update as a security update. This would probably be a flag in the readme
 file, maybe in the Changelog or Upgrade Notice sections.

 Ah right, I've never really looked into the plugin upload process; just
 assumed an upload form would be the way it was done, as that's how I've
 seen it be done by other platforms in the past.
