Why not simply deprecating these plugin? I have adopted this approach (much too rarely, trying not to hurt authors too much) in the past, and I found it simple and effective. Once issues are fixed, I simply remove the `deprecated` flag, et voilà. Not sure we need a vote for this, just establishing sensible guidelines should be enough.
