Last release was 387 days ago. wp.org lowers a listing's search weight once it goes about 180 days without a release.

Swap “woocommerce open close” and “opening time” for “store hours for woocommerce” and “close store”
“woocommerce open close” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “store hours for woocommerce” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “opening time” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “close store” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
