• Situation;
    After getting a scan report, the user must cut and paste the report text, and send it to the plugin author.
    Sending it to the plugin author, involves going to the WP site, looking up the plugin, clicking on the plugin’s support, then start a new topic.

    During an upgrade path, through several versions of PHP, some plugins may fail at each step of the way. And some plugins may only address some, but not all, of their incompatibilities, so remain incompatible at scan following the closure of the earlier support topic. This means that reports get sent to the same plugins several times.

    Suggestion for feature;
    It would be very handy, if the PHP Compatibility Checker plugin provided the ability for the user to save within PHP-CC, the link to plugins they are checking (which ever ones they want to follow the progress of).
    The link may be the WP plugin support forum, somewhere on the plugin’s own website, places like Github, or email addresses, or maybe other forms of communication.

    Benefit;
    This would open a new tab in the browser (or email, etc), ready to copy and paste the report straight in to.

    Extras;
    The date and time could also be recorded, of the scan, of the time of reporting, of the time of confirmation from the plugin author that the problem has been fixed.
