Comment (by joyously):

 > It might be worth thinking about potentially creating an automated work-
 flow where commits to the plugin repository - or probably better: tagged
 releases at the moment of tagging - are checked for compatibility with
 minor PHP versions to determine what the minimum PHP version should be.

 That sounds awesome! It would be much better than an author-supplied
 number. But even if it was an offline tool that the plugin author could
 use to populate the field, it would be better than the author trying to
 figure it out.
 And I would hope it would be a min and max.
