Note how the `distinfo.project_name` name is used when available. That seems to work for regularly installed plugins but not for plugins loaded via `DATASETTE_LOAD_PLUGINS`.

And that's looking things up in `plugin_to_distinfo` which is populated here:

I think I'll add a whole separate test block to CI which installs a couple of plugins and then exercises this feature using `datasette plugins`.

I'll use `datasette-init` and `datasette-json-html` just because they are small and simple.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1874327336,DATASETTE_LOAD_PLUGINS environment variable for loading specific plugins,
