Plugin Directory Admin: Cosmetic UX

[Ipstenu]

The following changes aren't required for live, but would be nice to fix for the time we're using WP Admin Dashboard for reviews.

• Edit Post Listing View - No option to see 'author.' Originally this was because authors used the backend, but since they won't, it would help reviewers.
• Editing Posts - The slug is too short when editing. (I know that's WP thing)
• Rename CPT from "My Plugins" to ... "Plugins" or something else? It's not 'My' anymore since it's admin only

Plugin Directory: Reviewer admin UX tweaks

• Rename the menu from 'My Plugins' to 'Repo Plugins' to match theme directory
• Extend the 'slug' and 'author' inputs to be longer, accomodating longer slugs
• Add the 'submitter' column to the list view (post_author)
• Add the taxonomies columns to the list view (committer, contributors, tags

Plugin reviewers will most likely need to remove some of the columns through Screen Options to make the page usable, we can also remove some of the columns if they're not likely to be used.

See #2249.

Added more columns than you can deal with.. which ones should be removed? or maybe just hidden by default?

We don't need to see these:

• Tested up to
• Rating
• Active installs
• Downloads
• Support

The rest I can see people wondering about and needing for a fast look.

Anything left here?

Only that it would be nice if QuickEdit would let me edit slugs :D Other than that, which is not a real issue, we're okay.

Replying to Ipstenu:

Only that it would be nice if QuickEdit would let me edit slugs :D

2249.patch​ implements that by restoring a simplified version of Quick Edit: 2249.quick-edit.PNG​ (the full version was removed in [5573] to avoid bypassing the new UI for status transitions).

Moving to the current milestone, as the ticket already has commits and a patch for the last remaining item.
