Comment:

 Reviewing the patch if feels a bit weird to say 'Compatibility' and
 'Compatible' in the same line. I wonder if we can improve the language
 here.

 From the code it appears we have the following strings for both the
 current and latest version of WordPress;
 `'Compatibility with WordPress %s: 100%% (according to its author)'`
 `'Compatibility with WordPress %s: Unknown'`
 * I assume this was repeated for the latest version of WP to avoid
 additional strings.

 IMO we can humanized the strings and have four descriptive ones;
 `'According to the author this plugin is compatible with the currently
 installed version of WordPress (%s).`
 `'It's unknown if this plugin is compatible with the currently installed
 version of WordPress (%s).`
 `'According to the author this plugin is compatible with the latest
 available version of WordPress (%s).`
 `'It's unknown if this plugin is compatible with the latest available
 version of WordPress (%s).`
 *Adding copy review to get feedback.

 Also, with the existing patch the `%` after `Compatible` should be removed
 it was there to escape the `%` sign in `100%` and since the escaping isn't
 needed that can be removed.
