Comment:

 Sorry that it has taken 7 years for an initial response. That said, I
 think this is a `wontfix` for two main reasons:

 1) As site information about WordPress is stored in the DB including which
 plugins to load, plugins which can and do further modify the site
 information, I don't think there is a reliable way to provide information
 about where plugins can be installed with the DB. As pointed out on
 [https://github.com/wp-cli/extension-command/issues/26 the linked wp-cli
 issue], this is something that can already be done with tools like `wget`
 and `curl`

 2) Modifying every sites `wp-config.php` isn't something that can happen
 as the file isn't always modifiable. This means making it a standalone
 file isn't something that can happen across every site.
