Summary

Addresses Meta Trac #8206.

  • Committer management (add/remove): Now allowed for both Beta and Featured plugins (previously required reviewer).
  • Public preview toggle: Now allowed for both Beta and Featured plugins (previously required reviewer).
  • Close and transfer: Remain restricted to reviewers for security.
  • Notice: Now explicitly tells authors which section (Beta/Featured) their plugin is in, and only mentions the actions that are actually restricted.

Test plan

  • Verify a Featured plugin author can add/remove committers
  • Verify a Beta plugin author can add/remove committers
  • Verify a Featured/Beta plugin author can toggle public preview
  • Verify a Featured/Beta plugin author still cannot close or transfer
  • Verify the notice displays the correct section name (Beta or Featured)
  • Verify non-beta/non-featured plugins are unaffected

…d preview toggle.

Relaxes restrictions for plugins listed in the Beta or Featured sections:
- Committer management (add/remove) is now allowed for both.
- Public preview toggle is now allowed for both.
- Close and transfer remain restricted (require reviewer).
- The self-management notice now identifies which section the plugin is in.

…d plugins.

Sends an email to plugins@wordpress.org when a committer is added or
removed from a featured plugin, as a safety-net for catching unexpected
actions now that featured plugin authors can manage committers.

…ured plugins.

Adds a `notify_plugins_team` flag to the email base class that BCCs
plugins@wordpress.org when set. The Committer_Added email enables this
for featured plugins as a safety-net for monitoring committer changes.

This replaces the separate notification approach with a simpler BCC on
the existing email.

…ugin committer changes.

Adds the plugins team user as a recipient of the Committer_Added email
when the plugin is in the featured section, replacing the previous BCC
approach with a simpler addition to the users list.

…o the owner.

For featured plugins, only the plugin owner (post_author) can add or
remove committers. Other committers are blocked, while reviewers can
still perform these actions.

…ification to beta plugins.

Applies the same restrictions to beta plugins as featured: only the
plugin owner can manage committers, and the plugins team receives a
copy of the committer-added email.

… manage committers.

Updates the beta/featured notice to tell non-owner committers that
only the plugin owner can add or remove committers.
