Based on the question here:
https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/43375/display-a-version-number-for-lua-dissector

... it would be nice to offer an API to set meta=data type info about the Lua
plugin, to then display it in the Help->About dialog box (on a new tab?).  For
example, let them do this:

  _PLUGIN.title = "The Best Wireshark Plugin"
  _PLUGIN.version = "1.0"
  _PLUGIN.author = "Jane Doe"
  _PLUGIN.description = "This is an awesome plugin!"
