Comment (by Ipstenu):

 > Thinking about this a little more, I think some UI to ensure users know
 that a plugin is unmanaged is going to be needed.

 I think Jorbin has a point, but I '''also''' think that's the scope of
 another ticket. "More meaningful status information on the plugins and
 themes pages."

 Flagging a plugin as 'not managed via wp.org' would be as nice as having a
 way to say "This plugin hasn't been updated in over 2 years..." as a
 method for educating users.

 However for this ticket, just getting the ability in, to stop users from
 the undesirable experience of "Why did my plugin get overwritten?!?!" when
 I have to close a plugin for shenanigans cannot be measured.
