 My suggestion is to add ability to developers to alter/filter the allowed
 plugin statuses .

 So If you add a WP filter, this could be done more efficient and natively.

 My code suggestion is this:
 in file:
 wp-admin/includes/class-wp-plugins-list-table.php
 in construct method to add a filter after defining the $allowed_statuses
 variable like this:

 {{{
 /**
  * Filters the plugin allowed statuses.
  *
  * @param array $allowed_statuses The array of plugin allowed statuses.
  */
 $allowed_statuses = apply_filters('plugin_allowed_statuses',
 $allowed_statuses);
 }}}





 For example, my case was to add plugin status fav_plugins, and I have
 written this work around to init the plugin_status as I need:


 {{{#!php
 <?php
 // Workaround
 add_filter('plugins_auto_update_enabled', function($enabled){
         if( !is_admin() ) return $enabled;

         global $pagenow;
         if( $pagenow != 'plugins.php' ) return $enabled;

         $plugin_status = $_GET['plugin_status'] ?? '';
         if( $plugin_status != 'fav_plugins' ) return $enabled;

         $GLOBALS['status'] = 'fav_plugins';

         return $enabled;
 });
 }}}


 My purpose was to create a functionality to save all the active plugins to
 a newplugin status called fav_plugins. You can view the plugin I created
 here:
