Description Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2026-01-27 09:04:53 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #24631 +++

Currently, plugin metadata is stored within the main plugin class file but this means one has to load the class to read it.  We should pull this data out into a manifest/metadata file in a standard format (JSON/YAML) to allow simpler external parsing.
