 The Plupload plugin has not received any updates for a long time and
 appears to no longer be actively maintained. As a result, it poses a
 potential security risk due to the lack of patches for known
 vulnerabilities and outdated dependencies.

 Request:
 1. Are there any plans or ongoing efforts to replace or update the
 Plupload plugin in the WordPress project?
 2. Are there any replacements or alternatives currently in development or
 in the pipeline for use in WordPress that could mitigate potential
 security risks?
 3. If no alternatives are being considered, can we explore other actively
 maintained and secure file upload plugins for WordPress?
