Sorry, dont know how to select the actual "best" component for this report.
For the pluginĀ
https://plugins.jenkins.io/ghprb/
The top level summary directly viewable in Jenkins, mentions its security vulnerabilities.
If you know enough to dig into the docs mentioned in the above url, itĀ also claims,Ā
"You should probably migrate toĀ GitHub Branch Source Plugin".
I have spent days, if not weeks, trying to upgrade an old Jenkins server, that used this plugin.
It would have saved me a huge amount of time, if two changes in documentation were made:
1. The plugin were to be marked as straight-out "DEPRECATED", like some other plugins are (eg: JavaScript GUI Lib: Moment.js bundle )
2. For migration tips, instead of mentioning (new plugin you should "migrate" to), say something on https://plugins.jenkins.io/ghprb/ like,
"You should probably migrate to using the github PR support with the built-in Multi-Branch Pipeline type.
