Biggest opportunity: “annotations”, “client manager” and “project management” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 2.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Chat & Support plugin keeps 0.8%, across 627 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Chat & Support plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, well behind 6.8.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

| annotations your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| client manager your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| project management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Pros: – The concept is very interesting. Cons: – Requires a browser extension, and uses negative reinforcement to convince you. “Install, or continue to use Bad Screenshots”. – Assumes you are on a large screen. Small screens are out of the question. – Registering a domain to your account is a little odd and requires setup on both ends (account and site). – WARNING: Account signup sends your password in plain text. (Eeek!) Neutral: – Requires an account with their service, as tickets from all of your domains are stored in a central location. (May or may not be helpful, based on your situation) – Reporting and Analysis require premium upgrades.

Might be a good plugin but I’m not going to sign up on your server to use it. Why would you do that?

You nailed it with this plugin. So helpful for clients to send me update requests.
