Comment (by afragen):

 Based upon a Twitter conversation,
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C60K3MP2Q/p1552875771433600?thread_ts=1552875627.432000&cid=C60K3MP2Q

 [attachment:"43992.16.diff"] tests for actionable data and replaces empty
 data in the `readme.txt` file with data from the plugin headers, if
 present.

 This still give precedence to data in the `readme.txt`.
