Hi, Previously there was https://plugincompat.herokuapp.com/ for testing versions but eventually that was stopped as too much work to maintain as I understand it.
As for further categorising, generally I think this could be nice but you'd need a standard place for plugins to add this. There's currently the "Framework :: Pytest" PyPI classifier, maybe you can convince PyPI to add more sub-classifiers, some other projects seem to have this. But maybe there's better ways these days, I've not kept up to speed with python packaging recently.
