Maybe: Hide Git plugins that exist on .org

This sounds problematic since people could be hosting forks of plugins on github (or just plugins that happen to have the same name as one on wp.org) that they want to be found. It seems like the fact that we already search for "Plugin URI:" would be enough to exclude plugins that people don't want to be installed via github

I think the idea would be specifically to avoid forks that reference a .org URL.

In what way does searching for Plugin URI already resolve this? I imagine the match would be by URI, not slug.

~~Because if someone is releasing their plugin on .org then they probably wouldn't bother making it compatible with https://github.com/afragen/github-updater~~

Oh, wait... crap. I thought that we were searching for the end of GitHub Plugin URI: so it would make sure that plugins get updates through Github or BitBucket or something. Didn't realize that all plugins have Plugin URI:. Yeah, nevermind - fact that we search for Plugin URI: is useless.
