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.

Why Hide WordPress Usernames
WordPress usernames can easily be guessed. If guessed it makes the attackers’ life easier especially in case of a targeted WordPress hack attack. Attackers can use a tool such as WPScan to guess your WordPress username or simply by entering a URL such as the following:
author=1
If the author ID is valid then they will be redirected to the author URL, for example:
com/author/admin
The above is possible even when you change the WordPress user IDs. author=1000 the attacker can guess the username. This means that you would be delaying the guessing attack but not completely eliminating it.
WordPress usernames can also be found in the source of rss feeds.
Disable Feeds And Hide Usernames
hides the usernames to make it harder for the attacker.
