Plugin Directory: "Support Reps" widget should only be visible if any support representative listed

[malayladu]

There is a widget called "Support Reps" available to list all support reps on the Advanced view of Plugin directory.

In an ideal case, this should be visible only if logged in user has access to add new support reps or at least 1 support reps added for that plugin. We can hide if there are no support reps listed.

Suport Reps

That section is ONLY visible to the plugin owners. So an alternative approach might be that if there is no support rep appointed, then a short text about this role and how to add some reps might be shown there.

Any suggestions as to what it should say?

[tobifjellner]

What about this:
There are no support representatives appointed yet for this plugin. A support rep has a special badge when posting in the support forum of the plugin and can mark topics as “solved”.

Perhaps a corresponding text might be useful under "Contributors", too? But I know too little about the logics and capabilities to draft that one.

Plugins owners also see the text input and "Add" button: ticket:3029:3029.PNG​. It's only plugin contributors who see the widget without being able to edit it.

We could add a short hint for owners, but I think we should hide the widget for contributors if it's empty, since they won't be able to add support reps anyway.

Plugin Directory: Don't show "Support Reps" widget in Advanced View if there are no support reps and the current user cannot add them.

Props malayladu.
