Perhaps one of you who's on the team could get in touch with him and
nudge him to get himself a green check-mark.

I know. I was after the reverse and wanted to find out what uses a
Snap.

Thanks. I had to do some research to understand its output. It seems
that:
* slots are providers (these are resources provided by Snaps)
* plugs are consumers (these use the resources provided by Snaps)
* interfaces are meeting places (these connect plugs with slots)

So far, so good. 

The command you provided let me know that the dictionaries
use the "content" interface, but there's no plug:

snap connections hunspell-dictionaries-1-7-2004

This command let me know that only other Snaps can use the "content"
interface:

snap interface | grep content

This command let me know which Snap(s) use it:

snap interface content

It looks like Firefox is its only consumer. Good to know.
