I think that is a good idea?

Banner? Where do you see those?

I think that is a good idea to classify plugins clearly, for two purposes:
1) These might be buggy wrt. to a host app they were not tested against. Users 
would be aware of this, and users would know to search for some alternative 
place to report bugs than to the host application.
2) It shares honor of work. The more a plugin says "I'm code developed by this 
cool guy", the more people are inclined to develop plugins for every ones 
benefit.
