[QGIS-Developer] [Plugins]: is 'plugin_dependencies' being enforced somewhere?

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi Devs,

Reading 
https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/plugins/plugins.html#plugin-metadata

about 'plugin_dependencies' and trying it out in a plugin locally, it 
does not seem to be enforced or so? I added another plugin in metadata 
(it's not clear from docs what name you need to use: plugin name or 
module name) thinking I would see some message somewhere.

Is there some message on plugins.qgis.org?

Or is it just a 'memo' for users who happen to see it in the metadata of 
a plugin, then a dev should notify the user theirselves?

Thanks for any info,

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
