Description
Currently we're using the draft
post status for newly submitted, non-reviewed plugins. This kind of made sense, but introduced unexpected bugs due to WordPress's assumptions about the 'draft' status.
Instead, let's switch to a 'new' post_status which we'll display as Pending initial review
. This will allow us to avoid the WordPress assumptions, and start on the journey of having a proper reviewer workflow using custom statuses.

We may also want to consider moving away from pending
to a different post_status for any yet-to-be-discovered quirks of the inbuilt pending
status.
That may bode well with splitting the status from just Pending
to something such as Pending awaiting Developer
, Pending awaiting Security Review
, Pending awaiting Plugin Admin Review
, etc. Creating multiple statuses and referencing it as Plugin_Directory::$pending_plugin_statuses
could make a lot of the core easier to handle.
