Documenting Plugins (long term)

Hi,

I have been maintaining a WP site for many years now, with multiple users, and what I have found is that there is a lot of plug-ins that grow like barnacles.

Some are installed and not activated for a reason (like SMNP testing), some are just sitting there because someone disabled them and left them.

I have un-successfully tried to find a WP plugin to document plug-ins.
As you can imagine, Google-fu fails when you look for “WP Plugin document” and variations there off.

Ideally, I am after a simple note/description next to the plugin as why that plugin is installed on the website. Or a plugin that pulls in all the installed plugins and has a description field next to each plugin. Ideally it would be great if the plugins panel had a native support for a descriptor field.

How do other developers deal with WP sites with multiple admins over many years?
How do you document the purpose and usage pattern of plugins on your long term website?
