Generally we want to avoid plugin sprawl; it confuses users. Is it
feasible to just make the required changes to the existing plugin,
using standard tricks like readResolve to migrate existing settings?
(For example, a String user + String password can be converted to a
String credentialsId by using CredentialsProvider to create a new
StandardUsernamePasswordCredentials.)
If not, and assuming the old plugin is truly abandoned, I would
suggest naming the new plugin clearly as a successor to the original,
and indicating this in the old one’s wiki page so the 1626 users of
the old one (at last count) can see what they should switch to.
