Comment:

 Thanks Dion, I appreciate you feeding back here and agree it's been a long
 time so back-compat would be a little late.

 I'm reclosing as `wontfix` with a note to developers;
 If replacing `plugins_api` with custom `contributors` ensure the format is
 as follows;
 {{{
 "contributors": {
     "username": {
         "profile": "https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/username",
         "avatar":
 "https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/XXX?s=96&d=monsterid&r=g",
         "display_name":"Display Name"
     }
 }
 }}}
 *Using the username as key and supplying the `profile` (URL), `avatar`(IMG
 URL) and `display_name` as children.
