 In Gutenberg, the pre-publish panel ([https://developer.wordpress.org
 /block-editor/developers/slotfills/plugin-pre-publish-panel/
 PluginPrePublishPanel]):

 Is **not** displayed (''with'' the panels) for users without publishing
 capability ('contributor' role etc). So these users see:

 It was initially there, but because some unwanted panels were displayed
 for contributors (see [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/6729
 #6729]), they somehow decided to entirely remove the pre-publish screen
 for contributors. Probably by mistake, making this essentially a bug. If
 not, a major design error, **because contributors need tips the most**.

 I opened a GitHub thread, see
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/16198 #16198]. A user
 suggested PluginPre**Review**Panel as an alternative approach.

 ----

 Contributor users are the ones who need publishing suggestions the most,
 as they are submitting a post for review, meaning, they are ''least''
 familiar with the publishing guidelines of the site.

 A [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/339662/24875 great example] of
 how the **PluginPrePublishPanel** can be used for contributors.

 Can we fix this bug and have ([https://developer.wordpress.org/block-
 editor/developers/slotfills/plugin-pre-publish-panel/
 PluginPrePublishPanel]) enabled for contributor users?
