Comment (by afragen):

 I feel I should comment as the plugin in question is mine, though not in
 dot org. It only called `get_plugins()` on specific admin pages and never
 on the frontend.

 I believe I’ve figured out a way to cache this data for a short time, but
 as the plugin is an updater it relies on know if/when new plugins are
 added.

 The specific issue is on GitHub, https://github.com/afragen/github-
 updater/issues/612
