 Replying to [comment:36 jrf]:
 > 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.

 There is already a SVN hook for `plugins.svn.w.org` that runs some basic
 PHP Lint checks, I believe one of those checks relates to PHP 7, @otto42,
 could you shed some more light on what is, or isn't checked by the SVN
 hook please?
