Not from me.

Rather than putting it in the MR Index, which would require PI maintainers to ask the PI moderators to update the index, it would be better if it was an optional item in the code, e.g.:
Code:
supported_platforms = ['windows', 'osx', 'linux']
author = 'Fred Nerk'
version = (1, 2, 0)
minimum_calibre_version = (2, 85, 1)
maximum_calibre_version = (7, 26, 0)
And the plugin updater be adjusted accordingly, i.e. to show min calibre
and max calibre columns and perform a relevant check.
And a big red note at the top of the Plugin's MR thread.
