Comment (by elrae):

 A few notes on the patch:

 - This introduces a new variable on line 835 $plugin_slug but I don't see
 that variable actually being used within the foreach context. We should
 either remove that new line or use it for its intended purpose

 - do we need a new function to get the plugin info? I thought there was
 already a way to get all that information for plugins. If there isn't, an
 minimum we should probably store this health data in a transient (with a
 filter to allow custom plugins to tap into it) the same way the plugin
 update transient works. This way you aren't hit with 60+ curl calls on
 every page health load if you're loading it multiple times. Chances are if
 you're visiting the health area it's to fix problems so you'll constantly
 fix a problem, then reload to see if it's fixed.
