Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Signed Posts version 0.5 as active, updated 7mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
Signed Posts allows authors to sign posts, assuring content integrity. Signature verification proves post-signing alteration hasn’t occurred.
Features:
In-browser verification: The signature verification is done on the client side (in the visitor’s browser).
Methods: OpenPGP (ASCII-armored detached signature) and DID (did:key, did:web) using Ed25519 detached JWS (b64=false).
Source of trust: For OpenPGP, the author specifies the URL of their public key in their profile. For DID, the author sets their DID (did:key or did:web). For did:web, the plugin fetches https://<host>/.well-known/did.json.
Status block: An informative block is automatically added to the end of each signed article, showing the verification status (valid, invalid, or error).
Author badge: The author name in posts is enhanced with an icon and KeyID/fingerprint text.
